2wd ?

Just wondering... Why can you put a rize 8 inch on a 2wd. Is it impossible?

I don't believe Rize makes a 4x2 lift.

They dont. I was wondering what makes it not fit. Just wondering if it could be fabricated to fit. (or something)

Nothing wrong with a lifted 4x2. Really the only difference between a 4x4 and a 4x2 kit is that the spindles are different, the added hardware for the differential drop and maybe some other small stuff.

So does a 2wd actually perform enough? One of the vegas guys has a lifted or leveled 2wd and although not my taste, it looks pretty cool.

Ive mudded in my 2wd and it seems like it can keep up with some 4wd. I mean theres spots that i know i wouldnt take it but its also fun and more challenging especially if you have a lift on it. I have a 6"

Ok I would do it for the look. Does anyone know if I could buy this off my friend and put it on my 2wd. It is a 4x4 kit.

IMO, no because the spindles arent the same as a 4x4..at least I'm pretty sure it wouldnt work, without the proper spindles.

Also, I wouldnt do it because I'm pretty sure the specs on the upper and lower control arms arent the same as a 4x2..theres more involved with a 4x4. That big Rize crossmember probably wouldnt fit the same...again, idk exactly but it's more than likely an unworthy cause..

mine is a 2wd. if i want to go serious 4wheeling i'd just use my jeep that i built for that purpose. my truck does exactly what i want it to do that you cant do in a stock 2wd because of ground clearance. i wouldnt want to offroad in my 2008 f150 that i spent so much money on

Maybe research and compare the 4x4 vs. 4x2 lifts made by Pro Comp and Fabtech. See if the part numbers are the same for the components in the kits. There was recently an article on a RBP lift for the 09 F-150 inch Truckin' Magazine. It said it would work for 4x4 and 4x2 F-150's.
