Default Anything wrong with lifiting a 4X2??

I was planning on doing it in the near future, but just wanted to hear some opinions. As far as how big the lift will be, IDK yet.

check out mmstar23 and oefootball_70
I think they both have a 3" PA body lift, and a leveling kit. Both look damn good if you ask me. just don't expect it to turn into a 4x4 just cuz you lifted it

I personally wouldn't lift a 2wd truck but others do and are happy with it. I guess what it comes down to is that if I have a lifted truck I want it to be able to perform off road but thats just me.

Lifting a 2wd truck is no ways near as evil as lowering a 4wd truck...

I don't have a body lift. I have a suspension lift on mine. 6 inch suspension. I love it. PM me for more info if you want it.

I really dont plan on doing major offroading or mudding. Thats what i plan on getting an ATV for. I just love the way a lifted truck looks, and the "repect" you get from cars on the road

Hey the truth is most people with 4x4s lifted dont go offroading so hey just think of it this way its cheaper for you to get the same hieght for just looks than a real 4x4. I would do it. You can still do some off roading like in deserts but don't expect to climb a mountain. If you dont want a huge lift there are spindles which is around 3 or 4" higher in the front.

lol, i live in florida so no mountains here... well maybe if you count the trash mounds but those are little hills. besides that we have everglades which is great for mudding, but not in my truck. Maybe an ATV in the near future

why didn't you just buy a 4x4 to begin with if you wanted a big truck?
