Why lift a 2 wheel drive?
 

Just curious...Not pokin fun.:confused:

lifted 2wd + big paddle tires + sand = fun and jumps. remember playin in the sand box and jumping your tonka toys?:rocker: Just my $.02

Because lifted trucks are badass whether 4x4 or 4x2 :rocker:

2wd + big paddle tires + sand = Stuck?

4wd + big paddle tires + sand = fun This one I will buy, can ya really do it with 2wd?

So looks? But why not get 4wd and have LOOKS/FUNCTIONALITY?

My first post ever on this board

IMHO not worth it go lower but not higer
the only reason to raise a 4x4 is to put bigger tires and/or go over bigger obstacle or a deeper mud pit
on a 2x4 it's pointless IMO

I can see why guys lift 2WD trucks, because it's their truck and they want it to look good. Same reason why guys lower them. Plus it will give them better ground clearance. Some even off road with them.

I personally would never buy or lift a 2 wheel drive truck, but I was going to lower my Chebby Silverado in high school (class of 94). I also live in Michigan though and we still get a fair amount of snow. 4WD is nice. Plus I like to off road, so 2WD isn't practical for me.

But I would be curious to know this from everyone who has a 2WD F150, lifted or not...

Will your next truck be 4WD and if not would you still buy and lift another 2WD? :cool: just curious

X2, I was just curious. The concensus seems to be looks. Still confused why they would get 4wd, then lift

When someone asks me if my duals help get better mpg, my response has always been "Heck if I know, they sound cool."

i would have gotten a 4wd if i had the money and for lifting a 2wd mostly for looks but with a good locker it can be pretty capable offroad. not getting stuck is mostly about good driving

I love these threads cause you always see the post that says "go over bigger obstacles, etc., etc."

Driving down the road probably 80% of the lifted trucks don't ever see the dirt unless they are in a construction zone.

I have a 4x2 and a 4x4. They are both great trucks for what I do with them.

Why lift it? Bigger tires, better look, etc.

Next truck I buy (to replace my 04) will be a 2WD. Granted it will be a Ranger with a LT kit on it.. but still a two wheel drive.

Way back in my younger days - lifted a '75 F100.

Put 4" blocks between the leaf spring and axle on the rear (easy enough), and I think it was 4" 'donuts' between the coil spring and axle on the front.

Had the alignment shop bend the front 'twin-I-beams' to get back into spec. Had to extend the driveshaft, after it fell out. And I'm sure there were a couple of other D'Oh items that came to light.

Built a pipe bumper with brush guard for the front, across-the-bed tool box with homemade light bar attached.

Got a set of 15x10 steel rims with the biggest 60s I could find to go all the way around. 60 series were about as wide as one could easily get back then.

Of course, it had the shorty glasspaks, and these were promptly washed out. This may not have been such a great idea, as it was impossible to sneak home late.

At any rate, to wrap-up this trip down memory lane, ended up with a pretty good looking truck for the time. Have to keep in mind this was before all the aftermarket bolt-on stuff was readily available. Not that I could have afforded it at the time, if it were available.

Looked a lot like the Baja trucks of that era. Mistaken quite a bit for a 4WD.

why lift a 4x4 that never sees off road? Its just for looks!

I always like the guys with the 4by2s who say " I can go any place you can go with the right tires and a little gas control."

Jeez shines do I really have to explain this to you. I thought you would understand from your new found love for the 909 that you can be an official BRO until you have a 'lifted' F150. See man to the Bro's it doesn't matter if its 2wd or 4wd. It's just all about the lift on the F150 for Bro status man!
