Thanks, but with the rear end I have and about to upgrade the motor that will beat and 3.0-4.0, I should be more capable off offloading than a 4x4. but heck I don't do much of that anyways, no more mud from me, that crap is hard to get off, than it stained my paint and now I have to clay bar it, oh just for looks and i know my son will be proud.

I believe he is in the process of converting it to 4wd. Calm down :) If not, truck still looks sweet. Who cares if it's 2wd.

Thanks for the look out, i cant convert to a 4wd, because I don't have torsions if that matters and I don't have a edge, I'm just a plain Jane 2wd coil spring. But yea who cares :)

That was the key, to take a 2wd and lift it just enough to make a statement and still keep it functional and offroad capable, Thanks so much.

yes it did, and LORD knows I'm not done, I'm still contemplating the BL, and going to just suspension and 33's, but we will see
