Why would it matter to ANYONE else what I do to MY truck???
If I had a 4x4, I would have been off-road the exact same amount of time....ZERO!
So why bother with the expense of the 4x4 when I would never need it? But I like the looks of a lifted truck, so who are you to tell me I can't do that?
And I have done both (lifted and lowered) so I am a truly unbiased opinion on this.

I've long had a philosophy on this which is simply "it's your truck, your $, do whatever the hell you want to do to it and the hell with what everybody else thinks!"...

y is every one lifting up 2wd trucks? i just dont get it wats the point. where i come from u lift it up to go through deeper mud and get bigger tires. i dont see very many lifted 2wd trucks goin muddin so y lift it. if im goin to spend the money on a lift and tires it better be 4wd. 2wd are ment to be low and fast.
My truck is big, tall and fast.

I've owned both, and never, not once, used 4WD. Lifting barely get's clearence anyway. You lift a thrid gen that started with the fact 20s, and you'd have to go to 40" tires just to get 3.5" of clearence. It's all about look. body lift and suspension lift only function is for larger tires, which barely gives any clearence. The rear end and front end are still sitting low. Trucks look good lifted, who cares if they have a transfer case or not.

i have a 4x4, (gonna be lifted soon) only because i live in canada (snow and ice) if i didn't have snow i'd lift a 2wd because i like the look, also 2wd's are less expensive and have less maintenance, are lighter and can tow more.
lol

Your money, your choice. My 2wd see's alot of off road terrain and I've never had any problems going through some thick deep mud, Even though it's just leveled. And Nick, that was pretty funny, FML lol

I have seen 2wd trucks that can get farther while going offroad than most 4wd's. After you have seen a 2wd drive truck pass thru mudholes that most 4wd's get stuck in while trying, You no long ask that question. Of course most of them had lockers.
Then again, I have seen 4wd vehicles that haven't seen so much as a gravel driveway. Spoke to one lady who was actually surprised to find out her pathfinder had 4wd.
2wd isn't only for the street. Course I don't understand at all why the people who do it for looks do it at all. But hey, To each there own.
