Getting the truck tomorrow guys and decided to make my thread on here. The SVT forum didn't much care for my 5th wheel/ 4 wheel drive build.

Mods coming: (Give me some more ideas)

Enginge/Drivetrain:
KB swap
New front suspension
Heavy duty leafs (rear)
4wd transfercase

Appearance etc
Fx4 wheels
275-70-17 MTR's
Gun rack
Gooseneck ball (removable)
and many more

 

Are you planning a solid axle swap lightning? Also if you are going to go thru the trouble of fitting 4wd and 275s you should look into aftermarket wheels. Not just plane fx4s on a lifted lightning. In my opinion the factory lightning wheels look 100xs better than fx4. And most after market rims for that matter.

 

My fx4 wheels have been trough the ringer and perform great. So I will def be using them. The truck loony be lifted at all beyond a stock 7700 size.

 

Kind of seems like a waste of time to make it the same hight as a 7700. You could of just got a single cab and cranked the t bars. If it was me I'd keep it stock or put a huge lift on it. But that's just me. Good luck on your build.

 

Cool, - subscribed!

 

Cool idea! But I have to ask, why not just drop a lightning motor in a 4x4?

 

cant wait to watch this build. make the truck your own! I cant stand driving a stock vehicle. I want mine to stand out and grab peoples attention

 

Well waiting on the guy to get to the "meeting spot".

Truck has 81k miles with 22" wheels. So FX4 wheels are def in the works. I am only paying 8100 bucks for the truck because it has been wrecked before.

Ill post pics as soon as I see it.

 

Well already have/had that. The eaton blower is going on my old FX4 truck.

 

So are you going coil over solid axel or stock 7700 ifs setup? If you are staying about stock height a Dana 44 up under there would be pretty sweet. What are you thinking for traction up front and in the rear with that much extra power? Some mild fiberglass up front could be pretty unique for a little different fender line while retaining the stock look.

So do you have it yet? lol
