Okay, so I need some ideas for some cheap mods. I wanted to lift it but it's only a 2wd and everyone said its pointless to lift a 2wd. SO what are some things that I can add to my truck? Keep it cheap if possible =]

If you wanna lift your truck, do it.
Im thinking about putting a 3" suspension lift on mine, and its only a 2WD too. I dont really care what people think, I just love the look.
I would suggest imo, maybe new blacked out or smoked headlights. Plastidip the emblems, and maybe the grill etc... Those are really cheap and easy to do.
I like the neons, how hard was it to put the undercar ones ?

Had a guy at my school do the whole truck for $150 with switch and all.

Yea I'm with manutea, if you want to lift it then do it. Just cause its 2wd don't mean nothing. Set up right a 2wd can look just as good. And I am really liking those lights behind.grille! What kinda lights you use? I wanna do something like this to my first gen!

Really that it? That's awesome! And truck looks pretty good to me only thing I would suggest would be to get the white bumper top instead of the black one. And does it have fog lights?

I think White bumper would look better too.
For the leveling kit, 3" seems kinda high. I know my truck has a 2" rake.
Check rough country, Ive heard they do pretty good and unexpensive.
I think spindles is the way to go for leveling. But Im no expert so...

A leveling kit would make it sit more like a 4x4, which is what you are going for. Only thing to watch out for on that type of leveling kit is that its just a spacer which can be dangerous if not put on right, never used one but with my little bit of mechanics background I would go with taller springs instead.

I like the fuel door! Ok and just make sure you get things extra tight on leveling kit, should look good! And when I say white bumper top I'm saying when you look at the front of your truck you've got the chrome bumper and its got the black plastic on the top, but you can get that piece in white to match rest of truck.
