Hi gang!
I'm kinda new to the forum, but I have read some really great advice here so I think I need to get some help from the collective. Please be gentle
I picked up a single owner bone stock 2004 expy with only 80k gentle urban miles and I am loving it. It's an impressive beast in 4x low even with street tires and no lift. But....I wanna play the bolt-on power game to see if I can draw a few more horses out of my engine for towing....and for fun.
Setup:
5.4 2-valve, standard suspension(no air ride), 3.73 gears.
Just had the major service with fresh plugs, belt, all the juices.
Everything is good.
This week I'm adding the following: 3.5/2.5 leveling kit -
Also need a good set of ATs- I loved the BFGs back in the day with my Grand Wagoneer, but that was about 20 years ago and I have been truckless while transiting the "child rearing so you drive a minivan" phase of life.
Looking for recommendations on this as I'd like to keep the highway roar to a minimum. I hear that the KO2s are a bit loud.
Must replace the current 265/70/17, but undecided if I'll go up to 35s....need input from you guys.
Adding K-N 77 Series High-Flow intake
MagnaFlow cat back or just the muffler?
Jet programmer -opinions welcome please
Also adding a Curt concealed front receiver for winch or bike rack, etc.
Shocks are stock and feel like they are still very good, but that "little voice" is saying I should replace them when I add the level kit since I'll be in there anyway.
I look forward to your input -
Will post progress pics this week.
Cheers.
