2wd lift VS. drop

Ok, so I'm lightly versed in lifting and very well in bagging and body dropping trucks. I'm on the edge of both but not sure which way to go. How and what options do I have for the 5.4 2wd?

Jack it up and take pics, then load it down with sand and take some pics, then we'll help you decide.

Well I've seen pics of both, and I like both. Thing is I can't seem to find much as far as parts for a 2wd lift. I know there are some out there just need some help finding them.

I, personally say lift it. I'm not a fan of lowered trucks, kinda defeats the purpose, in my opinion.

I agree!

2wd especially is asking to be lowered. To many jacked up trucks around here.

This is one of my favorite lowered trucks!
