Default Parts List Pile Up!

Just a couple weeks away from leaving Afghanistan and man has the parts list for my truck piled up.

So far this is what we are lookin at...

-New shocks, havent decided on which brand yet. Probably goin with Rancho's
-New Tbar Keys and Lift Blocks
-Long AAL
-Edge CTS tuner w/ mount
-K&N CAI
-XRF LCAs and BJs
-Ford Racing 9mm plug wires
-09-12 Fender Badges and tailgate badge
-09-12 FX4 decals
-01-04 Lightning Grille
-Bushwacker Extenda Flares

Also gettin the Rocker Panels painted to match the fender flares! Sellin my steps and brush guard and replacing the front lower valance.

Man these next few weeks need to hurry the hell up!

Thanks for your service man. I have ranchos on my truck right now and they are pretty good but if you you turning up your keys past the 24.25" mark I would have to recommend getting some two inch lift shocks. The lift block plus add a leaf will have your truck sitting rear high too.

Thanks Guys and I love being in the Service and serving my Country!

-jprevat- Right now Im a 91H Track Mech. But I reclass to 11B in May. And I want the back end to sit a lil higher because I do some towing every so often. But w/ the size of blocks im gettin and the AAL only adding 2" it shouldnt have much of a rake.

Before and After pics will be posted.

You don't need blocks and AAL's unless you want to recreate the factory rake. I have the 0-1.5" lift long leaves and I got a solid 2" out of them

Thanks guys and the factory rake is kinda what im goin for but still be able to stuff my 315's or 305's in there. right now with just the new keys under it the 315's fit in the back just fine but i had to trip about a inch off the lower valance to fit em in the front. probably more of a reason imma step down to a 305/70/17 instead.

Man I would do the gotts mod with a good filter like amsoil ea it pulls air from the fender instead of the engine bay like the k&n and for tuner I recommend sct with a custom tune from franchi motorsports on here you will not be let down The best IMO! And with t keys cranked past 24.25 you are gonna be replacing cv boots left and right. I did my stock keys maxed out and my boots were ripped in less than 5k
