if that truck is 2wd it probabally has a small rear block, maybe 1.5, 2". mine is 2wd with leveling kit and a 1.5 block in the rear and sits about an inch higher than a stock 4x4

they don't come with the "STX 4x4" sticker either, the website that photo is on says it just has a 2" level and 305/55R20s. To get that stance with a 2wd you could level and body lift like vanoford did:

It's tough to see unless you're looking for it, Munky's got the same style decal:

As long as you don't put 4x4 emblems on it, what's the harm?
Just don't be like a Harley wannabee. Take a ricer, build it to resemble a Harley, put loud pipes on so it sorta sounds like a Harley and install all sorts of chrome accessories, then sit around talking about how inferior Harley's are. Now, that's a true POSER.

I fully intend to take my 2wd truck off-road. I dont even have all terrain tires yet. Going to put some weight in the back and hope for the best. Get stuck, no big deal.
Only way to know the limits of my truck are to get it stuck a couple times. Much rather get stuck in a controlled environment than try to push it and get stuck in snow on a highway or a ditch.

This will be july 4th weekend..ill take pictures of what a 2wd stock truck looks like being pulled out by a gmc. (no choice on that one..maybe ill convince my dad to use the tractors instead)


edit: definitely wouldnt try this if i didnt have a guaranteed way of getting unstuck! best advice on this thread is go off-road with 2wd only in presence of 4wd friends/family

My truck is 4wd but I seldom engage it, all of the trial riding I do is on 2wd. 99% of the time I engage in 4 wheel low only when I climb tough to get hills or I get stuck.

That's true. Most offroading is in 2wd unless climbing a hill or a deep mud hole.
