For the 2wd no. But you can do it. Just do a spring over axle for the rear. and buy some spacers for the front coils. I did this to my 2wd before I made it 4wd. I bought some steal spacers. Not the cheep ones you screw in. The one I used is in the coil shape and can go on top or bottom of the coil. I did on top and bottom. It rased it good. You could go with air shocks too in the rear. Or go with a body lift kit. They dont sell them for 2wd but the 4wd will work. I did it too on my 2wd. The only thing is the steering shaft. On 4wd it has enogh slip but 2wd you will have to cut it and weld in a 1inspacer. You will also have to cut and weld in a spacer for the shifter rod but the spacer is inculded in the kit. They dont sell bumber brackets for the body lift but just take yours off and drill new holes and it will work. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=skuOn my 2wd I had enogh room in the rear to run 33 tires and 31s up front. Now 4wd 33 I can go bigger but dont want to change my ring and pinions again.
