Super excited! I couldn't wait to share
Ok I'm sooooo excited... I told myself I would wait until after the build was completed before I posted, but I couldn't help myself. After purchasing my yellow 03 H2 2 years ago, I am finally in a position to build it the way I wanted it built the day I bought it. After scrimping and saving so that I could do it all right the first time, I have finally pulled the trigger. Thanks to the guys at 4Wheelparts in Coppell, I can't wait until it's done. Of course we all know, we truly never reach ultimate satisfaction, but I will be a lot closer to it. After careful consideration of my needs and wants, below is a list of what I decided on including the audio.
========================
Paid for:
Moog Idler,Pitman, Upper and Lower Ball Joints, In/Out Tie Rods
Fabtech 6in Lift
Yokohama Geolander M/T 40X15.50X20 (went for something different than the normal Toyo)
Black Fuel Offroad 2-pc Nutz 20x9
Bilstein 5100 Shocks
Yukon 5:13 gears f/r
Hypertech Max programmer
(4) 8" round KC 851 HID's 35w
Pioneer AVIC-X940BT DVD/NAV/TOUCHSC
(2) 10" woofers in Probox
Alarm w/remote start
Factory painted grille
OEM Black billet fuel door
========================
Still want:
Dynatech LT headers/HF cats
Magnaflow dual exhaust
New black leather w/yellow piping
========================
Already got:
6k Headlight HID's
White LED DRL (wired to run w/headlights on)
Custom University of Texas gauges
Custom yellow painted interior
New fuel pump/filter (Feb 2013)
Newly re-built 4L60E (Apr 2013)
I guess due to Dallas Truckfest 2013, their shop is booked. My drop off date is May 29th. Expected completion is June 3rd. I'll post pics when I get it back. Ooooh the suspense!!

For the lift, wheels, tires, gears, and KC's I'm right at about 10k. I bought all the Moog from RockAuto for just under 500. Everything else on the PAID list brings it right around 13k total. I think I did pretty well. I shopped around for the best deals on everything for several months and got some stuff price matched.

Awesome list.. I'm looking to beef up the steering components on my 2004, 120k miles.
Would you mind sharing the parts list and part numbers you ordered for the Moog Idler,Pitman, Upper and Lower Ball Joints, In/Out Tie Rods ?
thanks!

Thanks...Pitman had two options depending on your specific vehicle from what I understand. Make sure you order the correct one, either 3 groove or 4 groove. I guessed and guessed wrong so I actually ordered both. Fyi if your rig requires the 4 groove spline, I have a brand new one still in the box if you want it.
Moog Pitman 3 groove-K6654
Moog Pitman 4 groove-K6536
Moog Ball Joint Lower-K6933
Moog Ball Joint Upper-K6696
Moog Tie Rod Out-ES3609
Moog Tie Rod In-ES3488
Moog Idler-K6535

Re: Super excited! I couldn't wait to share
Awesome thank you!
I wonder how we determine which Pitman arm..? I would assume my 04 is probably the same as your 03 but who knows.
3 groove does make sense too... since the ACDelco part that is listed also says 3 groove, same with the Raybestos brand.

Re: Super excited! I couldn't wait to share

Funny you asked...had some minor setbacks which delayed the finished product. Apparently today my stock gears were frozen and it took over 4 hours for them to free them up. But I popped in on the shop unexpectedly, and things were moving forward. Hopefully tomorrow will be the day!! I attached some progress pics.
Why only do the leveling kit?

Also, do you just buy one set? or do you need 2x of them? How much were yours total?
