Mine is 2wd and sits just as high as 4wd's. I just put 4wd coilovers in instead of the smaller 2wd coilovers. Works great. I go just about everywhere 2wd's go (except in the dunes) in glamis because I know how to drive. So lift your truck if you want and dont worry about what people like Suzuki say. Its your truck do what YOU want.

I love my truck. It is a 2wd w/ 6inch procomp kit 5inch fabtech rear block, 20 inch KMC Hoss wheels, 35inch nitto terra grapplers, edge programmer and 456 gears. I would highly reccommend the programmer and gears if you go bigger on tires. I got all of that done at one time for $6000 parts and install. Hope this helps. My pics arent of it w/ the 5inch fabtech block I did get that done later. It also makes a huge huge difference on 2wd lifts and I highly reccommend that also.

2wd lift
I have a 05 screw and put on 2.5 AS lift in front and 2" blocks and ubolts from a 4wd in back. Sits about a 1" higher in front than stock 4wd. 285-70-17 nitto terra grapplers. Looks like a 4wd for only $250.00.

A small lift, A/T tires, and a limited slip diff can get you in many places that a stocker won't. Your truck will take a bit more of a beating from the inertia that is needed to get through and/or over things but it will get the job done.
My last truck was a 98 2x4 and I took it just about anywhere I wanted to go. Never got it stuck. (although really close a few times) even on a few trails marked 4x4 only.
