I'm gonna encourage this...

Not mine, but it's supposedly got 11" of lift and 39's. 6" lift, 3" body lift, leveling spacers.

Not everyone needs a 4x4 but some like the look. I could see a 3-4" lift with some 33's. It'd make for a good mall crawler.

You could also do the pre-runner look. But if you were really going to push it offroad I'd get the modified arms and go the whole long travel route.

Um, just a thought. With the assumption you want these pics to get ideas for your truck: If we were talking about late-model trucks, presumably there are some reasons one might want to lift a 2WD. None that apply to me, thankfully. But we're talking about 20-25-year-old trucks. For the price of that many mods, you could buy a 4WD truck that already has some lift and then have some money left over.

I might be providing a biased opinion because I would never lift a 4WD either. But 2WD has a lot of advantages and you might as well keep them as long as you can't go off-roading in your truck.

So if lifting a 2wd isn't bad then everyone should stop hating on people lowering a 2wd...


Your truck do what you want with it!

all i did was ask what he wanted it lifted for.. for looks or for an actual purpose.. i am quite curious why people lift 2wd trucks.. thats all i said like i said i wasn't flaming just curious about his reasoning for wanting it.. more power to you 2 wheelin truckers for wanting to ride high.. i prefer not breaking my back getting up into my truck.. it already sits too high for me stock.. and i am 5 foot 11.. just don't like jacked up trucks for my own personal use

Im doing it for looks, i like trucks that sit with a high posture not super high but high. My plan is to lift it 6 inches(skyjacker) and put 35 bfg ats. I dont offroad often, but everynow and then i hit the mud and i havent gotten stuck yet.

Fair enough. I have an LSD 2WD truck and drive it off-road every now and then. It has mud all over the interior and I've driven it through 10" deep ruts many a time, never been stuck yet! Maybe I'm doing it wrong too, my buddy is usually good at getting 4-wheelers stuck in places that my highway truck just rolls through, and that state of affairs is fine by me.

On an aside, I can imagine a small lift might be useful for urban driving as it would allow you to drive over curbs and storm drains and such things.

6" suspension, 3" body lift

(not mine, lol)

I just have a 3" body lift on my 2wd. Going to add either a 4 or 6 inch suspension lift when I get it converted to 4x4.
