Depends on what you want. 3 and 6 inch lift varies in cost. The higher you go the more expensive. I usually get all my suspension stuff from Top Gun customz they're pretty cheap. I don't know about customer service never had to deal with them...

I took a look through that website and they do not have suspension lifts for 2wd. But they did have nice prices. I'm really look for a place that sells 2wd lifts.

Depends on how much you want to spend? Ive ran stock 16 inch rims on 285/75/16 Falken ATS mountain tires when I had my 3inch lift.Its basically a 33' tire. No rubbing or cutting. You choose rims but I would get a 33inch tire to go with that 3 inch lift. Here's a pic of what it would look like with 3inch lift,stock 16' rims and 33's. This was my old setup before I installed my 5 inch lift.




You can always get a bigger tire to fill in all the void if your not going to flex. But if you do decide to go with a bigger tire remember to re-gear. I think the biggest tire you can fit is 35's with a 3inch lift.Just an idea...

Jmarcin, as you have a 2WD, you're going to need the 3 in lift just to run 33's comfortably. However, since you're kinda low right now, 3in and 33's should look pretty nice.

You might be able to cheap out and snag a 3in 4x4 Ram rear axle lift block from a junkyard to lift the rear. Use new u-bolts of course though.

You realize with a 2 wheel drive you will not be out 4 wheeling and if you do, it will have to be mild and limited on what you can tackle, right?

Then, adding larger tires and a lift is just going to cost more money to change tires and the tires wear out much faster on road than off road.

If it is just a look you want and you are not wheeling, then a 2 wheel drive is good for you. If you want to wheel, buy a 4x4, you will have a hell of a lot more fun with it.

Food for thought.
