I was told too that Dodges weren't worth a damn in racing offroad because of their weight. I mean, in my opinion, this has no direct toward anybody, by the time you install a $5000 Kore kit with no racing potential, you'll spend even more stripping, fiberglassing, and rebuilding to even GIVE it potential. I think the only true offroad racers are the smaller midsize trucks that are light and agile enough to truly be fast and furious. Just my opinion. And about 3" of lift is about the maximum lift that a 2WD can pull off without looking retarded. I saw one with a 3" lift spring, 3" lift spindle, and a 3" body lift, that just looked....horrible. Lol.

I'd rather have 4x4 and not need it, then need 4x4 and not have it. And I think the reason most of us don't have a "real" kit as you stated, is purely do to cost/amount of off-roading we see. Most of us don't need to spend thousands of dollars on a kore or carli suspension system. For lots of us companies such as Fabtech, BDS, Skyjacker, and Rancho all handle great off-road and on the street...can't really say that a kore or carli set up is going to do that for you. But you are correct that the truck scene will never make everyone happy, theres just to much you can do with them. We should all just sell our trucks and buy civics, then everyone mod them the same way like everyone elce with a civic mods them!
Yes, Im a 7" lifted 2wd ( No not 1wd. My truck came with a lsd unit straight from the factory). I like to sit up high and know that I will be more safe in an accident if a car hits me or vise versa.

How can a lifted a 2wd look horrible? There is no distinguishing factors between a 4x4 lifted and a 2wd lifted other than looking underneath it.

This wont resize for some reason:
