Mine is 2wd and I plan on lifting or leveling it sometime. I prefer to get it up alittle with beefier tires. Who cares if it is 2wd, your paying for it.

Good opinions guys.

I'd like to see some variations on sizes.
Maybe a 4 inch lift on 35s?

I'm planning on leveling or lifting mine. Personally the racked look of a stock 4X2 jsut isn't my cup of tea. I haven't found any lift/level kits for the new 2012's yet. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong palces. Suggestions?

That's a serious truck. 19 inch lift on 47s? Haha holy ****.

I'll probably start with a leveling kit, then later on add the lift.
You can still keep the leveling kit and add a suspension lift right?

lifting a 2WD truck is not stupid if you just want a road queen. To me ... lifts are great for 4x4's..nothing too ridiculous of course, because your getting better flexion and articulation, ability to fit bigger tires for offroading and the obvious yes it looks good. With that being said, yes it is pointless to lift a 2WD truck if you want it to help with your "performance" offroad. if you just want it to look cool.. its not bad at all.

I have a buddy who lifted his 2WD F150 and i tease him..daily... cus it is kinda goofy.

and that truck on the posts above me... IS A ROAD QQUEEN! but ...theres nothing wrong with that if thats what you like. Its weird though how that person could put that much money into their truck but couldnt spend a little more to get a 4wd// weird

And you don't think 85% of the guys who lift 4x4s DON'T do it just for looks and never really use their trucks off-road.

If you like the look, LIFT IT!!!

I lifted mine bc 4wd would never get used anyways and it was easy to lift my truck and it turned out great. No regrets here and I have a cst 7"

I don't think it is stupid. Matter of fact, I feel a little stupid that my 2wd isn't lifted. I have a 3500 crew cab long bed DRW, and I hate coming up to a stop light next to a stock 2wd 1500 and his hood and cab is higher than mine.
I also think it will help mine not look so damn long. optical illusion.
