Looks like my truck used to, lol. Click my cardomain link below and you'll see the "evolution" of my truck (an 02 but just like yours) over the last 4 years.
There's a page with pics from one of the early Centralia meets where I wheeled it stock. My cardomain site is a bit large, but theres and "index" with the pages named and linked near the top, but down a bit.

Be advised though that it stresses things and brakes and front suspension parts wear out much faster.
A body lift AND spindle lift is too much lift for a daily driver. The very high center of gravity makes 'em too "squirrelly" for my taste.

Overall I get stuck more often -- but I no long care...I just love wheeling!
I'm converting this truck to a 4x4 and putting a solid axle on the front this spring though. Stay tuned!

Then, when I notched the bumper to set the winch further in, I cut them all the way back to the grill (or is it grille?...) shell to make it look less stupid -- well a little less anyway, lol. I sprayed the area behind it black.
Actually, it's an interesting look. If you look at pictures since I cut them off completely, the black under the headlights looks like the eye black football players put under their eyes, lol.

If you're going to drive a 4x2 offroad, especially when it is lightly or unmodified, you need to be out with capable people, make sure you have tow hooks front and rear, and be patient with yourself and your truck while you figure out what works and what doesn't.
You also have to really like offroading, because you will be in frustrating situations more often than your buddies with 4WD and equivalent modifications.
That's what it really comes down to: you have to love it and be patient. Over time, you can equip your truck to do more. If you really want to get to the next level, you have to mod or replace your truck to 4WD though.
I like my truck so much, I'm converting it.
