hey guys,

I got my truck and it has everything except 4 wheel drive. Ever since I was looking at trucks I wanted to lift it and I was thinking about lifting it still. What do you guys think? Will it be poser? Do you guys think I should do a procomp 6 inch lift with some terra grapplers? Or a 2 inch leveling kit with some terra grapplers. Or should I leave it the way it is?

Trade for 4x4 lol Trust me! Once you start doing all that off road stuff to your 2wd you'll get ****y and get stuck on something thats a simple 4x4 area. Then you'll definitely want a 4x4 and it will be too late cause you'll have all the suspension parts for the 2wd.

 

I don't offorad but I just put a 2.5" leveling on my 2wd and I would do it again any day.

 

Lift it and put a locker in it if it doenst have LS already. You would be suprised what you can do if you know how to drive it right.

 

I wouldnt plan on taking it offroad, but a lift and tires would make it look good. AS was mentioned put on a leveling kit and run 33's. Dont add a locker, lockers suck for daily drivers

 

I never take mine offroad and I have a 6" lift and 35's on it right now. Most guys (when honest) will tell you they lift their trucks for looks primarily. When you pay $30k plus for a vehicle then throw on $8k - $10k in mods most guys simply aren't using these trucks as serious offroading machines. I love the looks of my truck and even though it's a 2WD I would lift it again in a heartbeat.

 

2WD here with a 2" front leveling kit and Add A Leaf in the rear. I don't mind 2wd, but I hated how low it looked once I got on these forums. I really think 3" all around would look awesome.

 

I Say Lift It!! Forget what the "haters" say about lifted 2WD trucks!!

If you never go off-road, you will have no problems.

" Hey dad, you know how I was think about jacking my truck up and throwing big tires on it and spending all kinds of money on crap I'll just have to throw more money into later when stuff breaks cuz I ramped my truck."

Dad:
"Uh, whatever, go on son."

yamaharhino:
"Well, I've decided to do a real cheap drop shackle on the rear so I'll keep it on the road and be a very responsible young man"

Dad:
"You're a damn good kid yamaharhino"

 

Lift it, do what you like I do not think a lifted 2wd is a poser. My grandpa only had 2wd f100s and he took us down some crazy roads in a stock truck. Its not about 4w or 2w its more on how you drive. I would for sure put a good true track or air locker though, just me, my grandpa has basic work trucks no LS

 

Agreed.

It's damn nice when your out in the middle of nowhere and the wet mud smells like chit, it's hot and humid, you can help yourself. Everyone has heard the saying you only use 2wd to get you in to trouble and 4wd to get you out.


Now some of my friends use 4wd to get them into trouble, and use their lockers and boggers to get them out. And the occasional tug.

 

Oh god here we go again. Lift it! Put a LS in the rear, and youll be good.

P.S...to all the 2wd haters....

 

2wd sucks, i had a 2wd 2004 F150 because i couldn't afford a 4wd, untill a year ago and now i have my FX4.

 

Love the way your truck looks.

 

It must have not sucked that bad. You were willing to "lower your standards" and buy a 2wd just because you couldn't "afford" a 4wd. That's a lame excuse. Why didn't you just buy a "cheaper" 4wd like a Tacoma or Ranger or something you could "afford". And by the way, my "2wd" KR probably cost more than your "4wd" FX4.....
