Default pics wanted 2wd lifted

im going to be lifting my 01 2wd ram. im debating if i should do just a spacer or spindles and 285s. i used doestc or whatever spindles on an 02 f150 2wd and i didnt like how the front end was widened. are there any lift spindles that do not stick out the front? if not im just going to stick to the 1.5" spacers. can i get some pics of both to see what it would look like? thanks!

V10 2500 coil springs are another option.

^^^ looks good! now my next question is which lift spindles, if any, do not stick the front out 2"-3"? do all of them do so?

I'll have my lift done soon. 3" with 285's. BTW, lift spindles DON'T work with stock wheels, no matter what any spindle company tells you.

I don't mean this in a rude way, but why lift a 2wd truck? Just doesn't make sense to me.

Some dudes just need more travel and and are already getting acceptable traction w/ 2wd. The fastest vehicles in the Baja races are not 4x4's.

I lifted mine because I wanted to run a 285/75/16 M/T tire, I take my truck out to fires and find myself going between farms quite often, where I work I use my truck to pick up branches and stuff like that and have to back down over little hills and sidewalks which ground clearance helps allot and allows me not to worry about bottoming out, also truck looks pretty sweet now IMO
