I've had 2"ers on my truck for a couple months now and havent had any problems as of yet, blackbeastfx4 ran em catchin air while wheelin and didn't have any problems, I know other guys that have ran em, rock crawlers and buggys run em... So I figured hell why not the steering characteristics/feel of the road did change a little but nuthin bad or to call home about

IT looks waaayyyy better IMO, before it looked too tall and tipsy with the lift and short wheel track... Actually it was cuz it feels way better on the road now...

But be careful cuz I have a 3" body lift and a torsion crank = 5" maybe a hair less and I have 285/75/R16's (33x12ish) and they rubbed a bit on the lower valance after the install, just barely but more in reverse where they had too much clearance before that (trimmed a tiny nip off) No biggie but if/when I get 35's I'll hafta do a bit more trimmin or crank up the bars a bit more or both or throw a full lift under er
