Lifting a 2wd gasser
#1
#2
i started out looking for the same thing. Your not going to find anything. I have contacted anybody and everybody that manufactures A/M lifts. (Like literally all of them) None of them are planning on making anything for the 2wd. The puck is your only option, but it sucks on the 2wd because the alignment issues it causes. I had a co-worker that leveled his 2wd with the pucks, and he took them off within 5k miles. You have to grind the knuckle to align the truck the best you can. It will eat tires no matter how the alignment is. It also rides ruff as hell because of the angle of the I beams. Its no bueno. Whole thing sucks because a set of drop brackets for the I beams wouldnt be difficult or expensive to manufacture. Longer tie rods, longer coils, longer brake lines, longer shocks, and it would be good to go. Theres just no market for it.

so a bracket that extends the mounting distance for the ibeam mount will lift the truck? what about the support beams that run the same direction of the frame rails?
I have the pucks in right now and just don't feel that safe with them when you look at how much they compress the uhmw plastics. I have a full machine shop at my disposal so I thought of making them out of aluminum but I would feel much more comfortable with putting longer shocks in and using the factory stuff..with longer shocks.. do you know if anyone has had any luck with this and them using the moog fully adjustable camber bushings?
