I've been looking around for lifts for my 3500, but finding everything for 4wd. Where is a good place to go for 2wd kits. I'm thinking about a 3" lift front and rear.

I did find one on ebay, but that's ebay. Made by ROX SUSPENSIONS. Does have a lifetime warranty, but I have never heard of them. It's only about $200.

Can anyone confirm that the 2009-2012 2WD suspension is all the same? I've heard only the 4x4 model in 2012 changed.

If so, I should be able to order any 4th gen kit.

If you don't need a 4x4 but love the looks of a lifted truck with aggressive tires it's a great idea. You can get a rear locker and they will still go really well off road.

What are the specs on your lift/tire combo? It looks awesome.

What are everyones opinions? Is it dumb?
Is it dumb that I have the clearance to run across the ruff desert at high speed?Is it dumb to like the look? Is dumb that I don't need 4x4 but just the clearance?
Serious offroad I would recommend a lifted 4x4(rock crawling and deep mud), mild offroad a lifted 2wd with good tires will do just fine. And in the snow LMAO I don't go nowhere with bare tires, but when I put my heavy duty chains it's like the snow and ice is not even under me.

This is a video of my 2wd with a 7" cst lift w/cst shocks
