I got my ole F-250 that my grandad and my dad had for years. It sits pretty high off the ground. it looks kinda lifted but i want it higher. I know not many people lift 2wds But this ole truck would look really good with it. Im not new to lifts i also have a 1989 F-350 with 9 inches of lift. But I just need some help on which lift to buy for the 250 since its a 2wd. If you have any incite let me know thanks.

 

Why you would need to lift a 2wd is beyond me. You're not gonna be doing any offroading with a 4x2, which is the only reason you actually would need a lift. Sure, driving to the mall with a jacked up truck will look "cool", but it will also be totally pointless, as well as giving you horrible fuel mileage and forcing you to use expensive tires.

 

True, But i have a over stock of 35 to 40 inch tires in my garage, You dont always need 4x4 to play in the mud or to offroad unless ur rock crawling or going in to Deep mud holes. i just want to put a lift in to say i have a lift in it.

 

And in the opposite view, lowering the truck like your picture shows also has its cons, speed are going to be no fun, can't curb hop, and you're forced to do twice the work to make your truck look "cool"

Trucks are meant to go up, not against the ground.


Now, as for the lift, why do you need a larger lift for it?
What engine do you have? What is your spending limit, how much can you do yourself. Are you planning to upgrade the brakes for the additional weight and what not.
Have you planned anything out on your own?

 

Perhaps a body lift?
Simple, easy, cheap, and will fit.

 

Moneys no Obstacle i can do all the work in my garage, Ive done all my lifts in my trucks that ive owned. and it has the workhorse 300 inline six.

 

desert racers use 2x4 as prerunners. there is also a 2x4 class, or was. stroppe co, maybe bronco graveyard?

 

Was this comment really necessary?

And if you couldn't tell, the pic is shopped anyway.

 

I know it is shopped, I'm not retarded. You had opposing views to lifting a truck, so I simply stated the opposing views to a drop. No big deal, can't handle it, buy a Chevy.

 

 

I think any F150 lifts 2 or 4 wheel drive will work on 2 wheel drive F-250s. Go to 4wheelparts.com and do a search.

 

Let's all be friends here. The guy wants to lift his truck, it's a free country, he can do what he wants. I've been around the 'ole lifted 2wd truck arguement a time or two before, and trust me, arguing with the guy gets you nowhere.

So hows about we just give positive input here, not putting each other down for what they want to do with their truck.

 

i have read that a 2wd truck with a locker in the rear can keep up to stock 4x4.

i think the lift will be the same as a 4wd truck.it will have a drop bracket to drop the ttb , and what ever you do to the rear,whather it be blocks(not recommended) or rearched springs.ther is nothing wrong with a prerunner truck,i've always like them.

imo i like lifted 4x4's but i also like lowered trucks.that one in newrider3 avatar is sweet.if i ever come up with the cash i would love to do what brewtl did to his.i want my 81 to look like this.lol

 

He could paint his truck pink and slap altezza lights on it for all I care, but in the end it's the mentality that's lame. He wants to do something to look cool without thinking about the effects it will have on his truck. He wants a 2wd, inline six to pull around 35 to 40's. What gearing does his rear axle have? Does he have money to blow when something goes wrong (which it will on any lifted truck)? I'm sorry, but if you come to a forum and ask people's opinion be prepared to have someone disagree with you or point out things you may not like.

 

i wont hate.. any lift that is for a 4x4 will fit a 2X4 to the T....... not everyone takes their trucks to the mud pit and bbq's with one tooth billy and Fred and wears raccoon hats.. some want it for the look...

i'm kinda dissapointed..
