Default lift for 04 quad cab 2wd

Hello
I want to put terra grappler 295/70/17 on my 04 2wd quad cab. The truck has the original 265/70/17 wheels on it. At this point I don't think these will fit in the front without a lift or leveling kit. I don't really want to lift it to much I don't go off road but love the look. What is everyone's opinion about a lift fora 2wd truck is it safe will I have any issues with front end later on. I use the truck everyday and don't want to go over board with it.I am told there is1.5 inch kit that is a "cone" to raise the front end or a 3" lift for the front. What do you recommend.

they will fit w/o a lift as long as you keep your stock rims. I have them on mine. I just put the 1.5" Daystar kit on the front and have since ordered new rims as well. But they fit fine before hand.

well you have three options when looking at a leveling kit...you can use coil spring spacers...coil spring or leveling spindles... every one has its pros and cons but it's all personal preferance.

I have a 2wd with 6 inch lift. I have 34 inch tires on the stock rims and I have lost, not a whole lot, But a noticeable amount of my turning radius. I would recommend getting some new wheels with your new tires.

You will need a coil spring compressor and a pickle fork. I also added in 2 cases of Bud Light and a case of Miller Lite and 2 buddies and it took about 1.5 hrs at night with bad lighting.
