2wd.

I want the truck to look meaty, not so much tall. I got pretty disappointed when they said no.

I haven't purchased the leveling kit yet. Only the tires and wheels. I was going to purchase it when I did the lift.

Check on line. I have a 2004 2500 4wd and found a 2.5" kit that had new coils and mini leaf springs (not just spacers and blocks) shocks and I am going to add dual shocks for sway control. Price was under 2 grand with shipping. I run 35" tires on my truck and really don't have any problem with them. I just want a little lift.

Yeah I also have no lift, i cranked my torsion bars up a little bit and then squeezed my 35s on with no problem, no rubbing, no cutting fender, no nothing. Mine is 4wd to though. I would expect you to be able to fit them with leveling kit however.
