so i happened to have my measuring tape with me when i had to ride over to my grandmothers house the other day so when i parked in her driveway i decided to measure my fenders. there is a 4" difference between my front and rear fenders. my front fenders measured 34.75 inches from the ground. my rear fenders measured 38.75 inches. is that normal for a 2wd or is there something different/messed up? or am i just off my rocker?!

 

does the front of your truck got a level kit on it? if you dont trucks come with a factory rake so that could explain your odd ground to fender differences

 

no. no level kit. i want one just gotta get the funding together. lol and i know about the factory rake but i didnt think it would be that much of a difference. maybe its just the voices in my head screwing with me again!! lol

 

lol im not sure but i know most leveling kits are 2.5" ive seen people that have gotten 3" which i know my grandfathers 3rd gen has a crazy rake to it aswell (his is 2wd aswell)

 

i do know one thing though. this will definetly be the last 2wd truck i buy. i regret not springing for the 4wd all the time. dont get me wrong i love my truck but i really wish i had 4wd. oh well.

 

yea a level kit will help with the factory rake but i think the front end def sits lower on a 2WD truck than a 4

 

yeah thats about right i think mine was close to that and then i dropped the rear down a few to be level....but when i did that the front came up an inch or so...shes pretty level...

 

YEP THE 4" difference is they way they rolled off the assembly line

 

That rake sounds about right. Let me show you the difference in the 4wd and the 2wd.
Of the two red trucks, one is 4wd with a 4" lift and the other is a 2wd with a 6" lift. D@mn close to the same huh? 2wd's have WAY more rake and height difference from the factory.
