i was told you can put a lift off a 4x4 onto a 2x4 with no changes. is this true?

cuz i only want a 4in lift on my 082wd, but cant find nobody that makes one.

 

in my judgement im going to say this is not true im not sure on your truck seeing how its older.....alot of mech.changes have been made since then . but seeing how on a 4x4 susp. lift you incorporating another differential and alot of other parts as compared to a 2wd that has a straight shaft that will take alot less to lift in the air. ive never heard of a 4x4 lift being universal to a 2wd truck, but good luck to you

 

I"ve heard that the Chevy HD 2500 4x2 trucks can be lifted using kits for a 4x4. I don't think this will work on your Ford.

 

isn't the front of the frame different?

and also if your wanting a 4" lift kit for a 4wd on your 2wd you would get 6" of lift if it was to work, which you could just get a 6" 2wd kit and sit how a 4" lift 4x4 would be

also there is a thread with the height of our trucks, im at like 45 3/4 w/ my 6" 4x4 lift and wxscpo is at 43" or so with his 2wd w/ a 6" lift

 

i just want 4in, because i dont want a 6in on 33's.

 

no it wont work.

just get a 2wd lift. they are cheaper anyways 6" lift and 33's on a 2wd wont look that bad and it will give you room for growth

 

X2. I think you'lll be happy you went with the 6" lift. I have a 2wd (OBS) with 6" lift and I run 33's with it and I think it looks great.

 

From 1980-1996, this is true that you can put a 4x4 lift on a 2wd, because the frames are the same. From 97 up, they have different frames for 2 and 4 wheel drives. Hope this helps.

 

okay thanks
