Reason was simply because I got bored with the OEM wheels. Bought the truck new last year and knew that I was going to replace the wheels sometime in the future.
The suspension parts just so happened to be part of the overall package.
I've had 4WD trucks in the past and believe it or not, it actually fits inside my garage.

I appreciate your honesty. Being in the climate you are, it's very understandable. Your truck looks great and with that setup I would be hard pressed to tell it was 2wd. I guess it's hard for me to understand the purpose of a 2wd truck, but in the midwest 4wd is often a necessity to and from work. Once again, great looking truck!

Anyone ever heard of a prerunner style truck? They are VERY capable off-road vehicles, and a good majority of them are TWO WHEEL DRIVE.
That aside, let's be honest here, how many people with lifted trucks ever actually NEED the 4wd? And how often?
Exactly....
People do it for looks, and I see nothing wrong with it. Makes the truck looks bad ***, and more fun to drive sitting up high.
