Exclamation lifting a 2wd

hey peeps
hey i just recently bought a 99 f250 super duty and had a questions. I went with the 2wd and not the 4wd due to the insurance reasons...too much money. Anyways, i ve always wanted a big lifted truck and was wondering how i would go about making this 2wd looking like a 4wd. i was thinking of lifting it about 6 inches ....... i was just wondering if there was anything to cover up the axel a little, just to make it a little tougher to notice it being a 2wd. Anyone with anything post up baby!!!! Thanks guys!!!

4x4 is a "high risk vehicle" since all them mama's boys tried to be speed racer in them flipped them over before the invent of traction control and computerized vehicle stabilization.

For me, having a 4x4 over a 4x2 would have raised my rates about 15%, but since the vin says 4x2 I'm good.
