Hey yall, i have a '98 2wd and have been tossing around some ideas about what to do to it.I thought it would be fun to fit some 35's, so i did some research and found that to clear them i would have to lift about 5 inches. So i found fabtech's 3in performance lift and thought that i could do that with a 2in body lift, which seems to be a good idea to me.The only problem is that i do not know as much as some people, so wisdom and cool ideaswould be greatly appreciated.

 

sounds good, maybe you could swap a dana 44 in the front to make it even more awesome

 

lifts are for 4x4's.

 

so are yall sayin that going that high with 2wd would be too much? cause i could just forget the body lift and use some 33's instead.

 

No we just have some people who think 2 wheel drives are gay, its your truck, do what you want.

Fabtech suspension is a very good brand

 

Yeah you had a good idea with the 3" suspension and 2" body
Im not to huge on lifted 2wds but like Force said its your truck do what you want man.
And As long as youre not looking to really wheel it which i doubt you are, youre fine.
And Force is right Fab Tech is the way to go i just got a lift from them and going to install it soon
Good Luck!

 

I should also note that they are very expensive$$$$$$$$$

 

dont think 2wd's are gay, just dont see the point of liftin a 2wd. its pointless. i would take all that money you are gonna spend on a lift and put it into mods for the engine. make it fast. sure some 33's would be cool but thats as far as i would go.

 

Very true
But i got mine for $300 off my mechanic from his old ram 5.5" lift
In great shape
Im very happy

 

ya i'm thinking that i might just do that, it would definitely be cheaper. i already had custom exhaust work done and installed a tb spacer, so mabey i should just stick with performance, but a little bit of height wouldn't hurt.
