So yours is a 98 or a 99? Lifting the rear end would be the same way on a 2wd vs 4wd. Useing blocks or shackle flip kit.

since 4 wheel is leaf spring and 2 wheel is coil spring, i can not see how a 4 wheel lift kit will work in a 2 wheel truck.

unless it is a F-150, then they are both coil sprung and the kits will probably swap.

I believe I have seen new twin I beams with lifts built in. Don't think you can get anything more than 4 inches of lift though.
