ive searched around and couldnt find a solid answer. i have a 2.5" HBS leveling kit on my 05 4x2 right now and was going to add a 3" rear block to raise the end and then what do I do to add the extra i think 1.5" in the front to have 35's? correct if im wrong and i dont really want to do a body lift due to the expensive installation and idk if i could do it myself. so do i need to swap a part from the 4x4 front end and install it in my 2wd that will give me the clearance?

 

I'm running a HBS 2.5" and I ran a friends stock rims and Nitto Grappler 315/70r17 for a day to see if my truck could handle it. It did fine. I dont have anything in the rear yet..

I'm stil running 265/70r17s right now though.. MPG and power is better this way. I dont wanna upgrade rear gears anytime soon.. Hes got a Black FX2 with a 6" ProComp and leveling kit and hes getting 12 mpg

 

Here are three good threads on this question.

what do i need for my 2wd front end to sit like 4x4

2wd height vs 4wd height?

What do i need for my 4x4 to sit like a 2wd

 

nice thanks, from this it seems swapping 2wd for 4x4 shocks will get me and extra 1" lift therefore in theory making my 2wd being able to fit 35 tires due to the front end sitting the same as a 4x4 without wearing out ball joints except if you live offroad because of the 2wd and 4x4's having the same front end minus the shocks
