Default Snoop's 04 fx4 build thread

I figured I would start a build thread to keep track of my progress.

Base truck
-Purchased on April 15 2014
-130,000 miles
-True Blue
-Supercrew, Short bed
-Fx4 package with sunroof
-3:73 limited slip diff

After I bought it, I put an Aries bull bar on it mainly for looks, but that soon came off as I found that I would be needing front tow hooks for my application.

Wheels and tires
-Raptor take off wheels and tires (315 70 r17 BF Goodrich ta/ko)
Suspension
- Rancho quicklift struts set to 6 compression
- ICON rear 2.0 shocks with remote reservoirs
Brakes
- Powerstop Z23 front rotors and carbon ceramic pads
- Stock rear brakes
Drivetrain
-MBRP 3" turndown
-K&N filter for offroad use
Electrical and Lights
-Vision X light cannons
-SDHQ hood mounts
-20" Amazon led light bar
-2 Amazon cubes
- Custom super duty switch panel with custom wiring harness
-2 KC cyclone rear facing ambers
- TYT 9000d VHF radio with magnet mount antenna
Misc.
-Ranch fiberglass lid for winter
- Tie down rings in bed

Runs
-Silver Lake Sand Dunes Raptor Run 2015
-Silver Lake Sand Dunes Raptor Run 2016 ( Locked and loaded)

Here is how she sits right now.


As far as future mods go?

Ive got a new bumper on the way but that's pretty much it.
Im sure I'll find something else to put on it though.

I would like to thank Keith at LVJ Motorsports for his wiring expertise for my harness and for hooking me up with my radio. Defenitly check his website out if you want some kick *** switch panels or a new radio.

Just the level. Everything else is unmodified

It's probably because it's 2wd. Spring rates are different when comparing 4wd to 2wd. Everything I've read said the 4wd guys get 2-2.25" of lift while the 2wd were only getting 1.5". Maybe you can exchange them for 4wd struts?

Edit: the UCA? Mine have like an inch of clearance
