Someone w/ pics of a lifted 2WD SCrew?

Im planning on getting a front-end leveling kit and maybe eventually a 3" body lift. I wish I had shopped around more when I bought my truck and got a 4wd, but Im stuck in this loan now and'am gonna have to deal.
Just wondering what a 2WD Screw(97-03) looks like leveled w/ bigger tires/rims and w/ a 3"body with Tires/Rims.

Thanks.

This is mine with the fabtech 7.5" kit, i know its not a screw but itll give you an idea of where yours would sit with leveling kit and 3" body lift..but honestly if youre going to do all that then you might as well just get an entire suspension lift because its definitely better in the long run..just my .02...hope it helps!

Looks Great, but unfinished IMO. - Your missing a piece of trim on the bed front. It ties in the bed with the cab. No offense, think it would look better with.

Thanks for the compliments jbrew! But I really dont like the trim, I really like a simple look and paint job on a truck...whenever I decide to get my paint redone I"m gonna take them off and paint my valences to match..should look pretty good

I agree! I think the truck looks MUCH better w/o the trim(IMO)



Thanks Phil



Here is my Screw. I have a little more lift than what your looking for, but you get the idea.

Yea, but make up your mind - Half of the trim missing looks bad. Either get rid of all of it or put the missing piece back on lol

Right, you have to wait for paint. My original comment was misconstrued, not by you. I know what you meant. I don't think it would look bad with all the trim removed.

I like those Tires and rims.

Right now I have the T-bars cranked and hate it lol - The ride anyway. It's solid, just too rigid. I'm going to bring it back down, then back up with a 4" Suspension lift. The last 150 I lifted had a 12.5" lift and 44's on centerlines. That was a little to much lol.

Yea, I like it @ the 1 ton 4x4 level for that year. Your most likely close (give or take) to that now. 35's on 10" rims do look awesome on these rides

What I like the most, - is the way you lifted = No body Lift. Mann, I hate workin on a ride with a body lift.

Same here man! A body lift is a last possible option for me if I decide to move up to 37's...I really want to get aftermarket upper A-arms, 3inch coil spacers and then a bigger leaf pack in the back. I should be able to clear 37's then! But I'm thinkin new paint, and some interior and engine work are overdue..cough cough(complete engine makeover!)

PS- its already hard enough to work on my engine as the truck sits, I dont want my engine sittin even lower with a BL!

I did the motor up already. It didn't need a rebuild @ 257,000 miles believe it or not. - Valve are spotless and compressions perfect. Ported and polished tho. - Runs strong. These modulars are pretty incredible, - if you just take care of them.

I've seen some pretty half a$$ body lifts

yea i hear ya on the modulars...I just hit 155K the other day and shes still runnin strong, no major work needed yet...hopefully not soon either! Sounds like a good truck man, hope it keeps that way.

And yea, Ive seen some pretty bad ones to, I just plain dont like them because they dont look natural..GatorCrew prolly has one of the best Ive seen. Very natural one the truck, just my opinion though
