Default I can't make up my F'N mind!

I need some help from you guys....I'm trying to decide on a leveling kit or the 6inch kit. I have done research and I still can't make my mind up.. I understand the money difference and that some people disagree on lifting a 2wd truck but why the hell not..... So if I can see some pics of both I would appreciate it and imput of owners of both set ups thanks!!!

It mostly depends on what you're wanting out of YOUR truck. A lot of folks will say it's silly to lift a 2wd. I mean a lift kit and a leveling kit are two totally different animals.

Me personally, I'd get the lift kit. True, it's not a 4wd, but as long as you like it, who cares. I've seen some really good looking 2wds lifted.

Good luck on your decision!

I put in a 3" level kit and don't get me wrong it looks really good and rides great... But me I want to life my truck aswell and this summer I'm putting in a long travel kit in my 2wd and lifting it about 5 to 6 inches... But I agree it's up to your style and if you think it would look good with the lift I would defenatly do it

Also, a lift in a 2wd truck will make it more capable off road. I would argue that a lifted 2wd truck would go some places that a stock 4wd can't go, due to clearance issues. Obviously a lifted 4wd would be better yet, but remember, the Baja races have alot of 2wd trucks in them!

Also, unless somebody knows to look underneath it for CV joints, you're the only one that's gonna know its 2wd.

Get the lift in my opinion. I had the leveling kit for a year then decided I wanted bigger.
