You make me sound dumb, ha ha. I never said aything about lifting a 2wd, that would be retarded. If i lifted anything it would have to be a 4X4! Thats kinda the point. But anyways. Thanks guys for the advice and for giving me so much crap. Especially about my username. ha ha.

man then say youve got a 4x4, i cant stand lifted 4x2s with big ol meaty tires, plus who gives a damn about 0-60, if youre planning on racing an asian car just turn hard right and run him over.

I dont even have THIS truck we are talking about to say that it is a 4x2 or 4x4, I was just curious about the circumstances. I don't really care about 0-60, it just seemed like a good way to gauge how much speed i would lose. Ya know? Or maybe ya don't know. I don' want to race little asian cars, ha ha. If I did I would buy an srt charger or something. But i dont, I want a sexy truck, which is what I got.

mark dont mind these guys fukcing with you dude. they do this because they are 'vets' on this forum and feel the need to try to bust some ***** to make it feel like theirs are huge. anywho, im sure youd lose enough speed. not sure on the numbers. but i wanna say 2-4 seconds? you can still add some neat little mods to keep it where its at. chip, exhaust, CAI,a dn a few other things. im not much of a mod guy but i think you catch my drift. welcome aboard the forum though.

What do you currently drive?

Also your mpg will tank a good 20+%, the gears and chip will do the most and cost the most, however if you drive a lot you'll make up for it with the gas savings by having the gears and chip. Also you're in co, assuming in a mountainous area, if thats the case then gears would almost be a requirement to get up those long inclines.
