Default Tire and level

Ok. I have 2wd with 265/70/17. Without having to get a lift kit or any kind of lift what would I need to get bigger than 33's? I'm deff getting a leveling kit just need to know if I can do anything else with leveling kit to get bigger than 33's on a 2wd.

Any suspension lift is gonna be really expensive. You could always do a body lift if that would fill your need it too is expensive (for a body lift) they run about $500. I have been thinking of doin a body lift on mine im just kinda torn is to what im gonna do.

Would a body lift be just as good as a suspension lift?

Click on the private messages link under your username, all the options are on the left. And for the body lift, they are just for looks, wont do anything for offroading. But anything attatched to your frame wont go up, bull bar, brush guard, exhaust, etc. Just take that into consideration. Im saving my money for susp. lift beacuse i wont be ultimately happy with anything else, and i want more height as well. All in all BLs have their pros and cons like everything else. You jist need to decide whats important to you.

Yes, a 4wd is 2'' higher than a 2wd, and you can fit 35s on a level 4wd. Get a 3'' body lift you'll be fine. If you have any questions about a 2wd w/ a BL, Vanoford has that setup.
