Other then the fact that i need much more aggressive tires, which would make a world of difference. My 2 wheel drive does exactly what i want it to do. worn down terragrapplers arent the best tire when you are out offroading. . . . . first 2 pictures i pulled that jeep out of a deep ditch.

I dont care to get a 4x4 cause what I have is great I just want it high. Motors new and so is trans along with most everything else on the truck. Its one of the best 91's ive seen, but its just a few steps away from being what I see in my mind. I already get crap for putting the camper shell on but I am fairly committed to finishing this thing the way I want it. I painted my camper shell to match the truck and bought a tool box with no side rails so it fits in the bed with the camper on. All I need to do is lift. Anyone ever done this? Maybe if you did do it and have some pictures it would help me make up my mind. If you have any comments in general about my idea then speak up.
You asked for feedback so here is mine. Don't do a body lift, they are stupid and serve no purpose but to fit bigger tires. If you are going to do a total of a 7 inch lift, at least put on 35's. Your truck won't look proportional with a 7 inch lift And 33's. My advice to you is that if you have a 2wd and you want it to look really good turn it into a pre-runner. You'll turn more heads with it as a pre runner than if it were just jacked up. That's just my 2 cents.

You're in the wrong section. In this section we don't like your truck.
