2wd lift

Who makes the best 4" and 6" 2wd lift for an '04 Crew Cab?

I agree the Fabtech would be your best bet.

However just remember 2WDs sit 2" lower than a 4WD. So if you want to be the same height as a 4WD equipped with a 6" lift, you'll need 8" of lift. CST makes a badass 8.5" lift for 2WDs.

As far as looks, I think the Pro Comp and Fabtech are about the same. I think they both use the spacer unless you buy the upgraded coilovers. For off roading, I'd say Fabtech.

This is just my opinion but the Fabtech front crossmember looks much better than Procomp's. The Fabtech kit doesn't use the spacer like the Procomp kit either, it uses longer struts and the factory coils.

Hmm, you're right. I swear I saw a 8.5" lift before, I don't know.
