I was wondering if anyone had done this type of job before?
The guys at 4 wheel parts were real jerks so I don't know..
Cost?
Ease of Install?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Yea I have a 4 inch with 33's too. My lift was from Superlift, I forget how much they run but it was a pretty penny, and I've got buckshot mudders on it which have really good tread pattern and have a nice tread life but they aren't too expensive. However, the fender wells still have a pretty good gap, and I like that full look, so my next set of tires will be 35's. I don't think it would rub, and if it did it would probably only rub at full turn.

From what I've heard (please don't bash me if this is wrong, because I'm not saying this is right) 2WD have a little more torque than 4WD because in a 4WD, even when it's disengaged, a little bit of torque is still traveling down the drive shaft so you lose a little torque on 4WD, so I think 2WD are still good for off roading and such, ya know, things that require lifts (I'm only 18 so I'm just learning about vehicles correct me if I'm wrong please :O)
