Put a locker in and get some beefy tires and you could hang with most 4x4's.

 

You'll knock a 2 wheel drive truck out of alignment everytime you take it offroad, trust me use to have one. Broke the frame in half trying to take it somewhere I shoulnd't have.

True though, if you get alocker and some beefy tires you will get some decent traction out of it.

Consider selling it for a 4x4 that is a couple years older and you should walk away from the deal even, or a little ahead of where you are now.

 

ive thought about it cereal killer but i just love saying that to my brother and all his friends. the look on their face is just priceless!!! anyways the locker does sound like a good idea where do i get those from and about how much. as for the tires i am going to get beefier ones but i need the lift first or can i get away w/ a body lift?

 

so i take it that no one thats 2wd has a lift??? oh well ill figure it out. i appreciate the help though. if any one knows please PM me or speak up on here.

 

Well there's only one REAL option for locking a 9.25 and that's a detroit locker. They run about $600

Here's a site that'll help you with the install

ya know, you could just do a body lift.

 

Yeah he could just do a body lift
and he could keep dragging his frame and his transmission and transfer case off the ground...

 

what transfer case? he is 2WD!!

I also found that Daystar carries a set of coil spring spacers for his truck, $40 at a retailer I found.

 

wow silly mistake on my part.
2wd don't have a skid plate either do they?

I mean a body lift is fine if you just want to clear bigger tires (which you'll need anyway) but since his main problem is ground clearance I'd say a suspension lift is in order. I know there's 3" suspension lifts for 2wd truck out there because this topic comes up about once a week, but I can't remember the names of the companies.

 

The only lifts I found while doing a search was for 1" springs, coil spacers, and 3" blocks in the back. Cheap, simple, effective.

I used to have a 2wd truck, and I could get spindles, springs, spacers, all kinds of neat things for it. But that was back in the early 90's.

Just offering my .02 to the fella.
