Did you lift your truck for off-road use or looks?
 
AZ2500Cummins08 just asked this very good question in a thread, and I think it would be a great poll.

If you are one of the work/play hard guys, then please stop by the "Off Road" section and post up a pic of your truck.

OK, we'll let the pavement queens post a pic there too...:(

I didn't like the both, because EVERY off roader who lifts his truck, I would imagine also likes the look, so I re-worded option #2 a little...

Some say I am stupid, but I bought my truck to be used as a truck. The very night I got my truck, I pulled a travel trailer 200 miles through mountains. Then, then next day, I spent 2 1/2 hours off road, came out with alot of Arizona pin striping. 3 days later back down in the desert, I pulled a monsterous log out of a county road that some A hole blocked off claiming it was his land, again, more Az Pin Striping.

I lifted mine even though its a 2wd because I take my truck out to the high desert in CA a lot in order to go Dirt biking. I know a 2wd lift seems stupid but I needed the clearance to get some better A/T tires on the truck

I don't think lifting a 2wd is stupid at all. First of all, if you are doing it for the look, it really doesn't matter if it's a 4x4 or 4x2. Secondly, when I lived in north Ga., I had a friend with a small weekend place on a big lake. Last eight miles or so were dirt roads and they were constantly logging back there, so the ruts sometimes were deep as hell. He did a lift just to get some bigger meats for more ground clearance. What's wrong with that?

My first truck was a 2wd. I got stuck alot, but that was due to the tires that were on it, and the clutches in the factory limited slip were burnt out, so it was basically an open diff. But it was a fun truck. Nice ride, comfortable to drive. It was an 84 GMC Sierra Classic 2500. Single Cab, Long bed. White. It was in near mint condition until my dad let my little hoodlum brother drive it when I went into the army. It took him under a year to go from near mint condition to looking like some Illegal drove it.

Most of my driving is on Dirt roads since I work and live on them! Only see the pavement when I go to the city for the weekend or to the ski resorts!

Every time I get a chance, I'm off the pavement. Not often maybe, but I make the best of it when I can!
