No trimming, they're a close fit though.

Why would you put A/T's on a 2wd truck?

Because I can.

And I was doing the lift, so it would have looked goofy with road tires. It's not like 2wd is completely useless off road anyways, just can't be slow in the rough stuff.

Grille swap from chrome C-Clamp to Lariat 3 bar with black inserts off eBay

Stock Raptor wheels/tires off Craigslist

2" front spacers from AutoSpring

Bought 4x4 stock 1.25" blocks from warriorsfan177

Bought Lariat chrome running boards from BIG BLACK PREDATOR

Sweet truck. How difficult was the install on the 2" level and 4x4 blocks?

I had a guy I work with help me, but it wasn't too bad. The AS spacers just bolt on; no compressing necessary. On the 2014s you have to rotate the strut 180 so that was a little different. I'd say make sure you have some help with the front. The back is easy peasy you can do that alone.

This thread got drug up from the depths but I'm more than happy to talk about my truck lol. It sits about how a stock 4x4 does, hell it LOOKS every bit a 4x4. I haven't done anything else to it after these pictures, and I look forward to driving it every morning.
