So it had no rubbing at all after 2in lift

 

you ll be fine with 31s and a spacer in the front i drove my truck for 3 years like that you dont even need the spacer i did that for the first year 31s with complete stock setup

 

oh and i had 2wd for 3 years with 31s and a lift they are cool and everything but there is nothing a 2x4 can do that a 4x4 can and as far as cheaper to lift i think its all relative maybe a little difference

 

Mine has 31x10.50x15s with no lift. The only time they scrub is if theyre cut all the way and i back up too fast but forward they never scrub

 

2WD is for going fast, 4WD is for going slow.

 

Not true Just look at the raptor it's fast in 4x4 and 2x4 and thanks for bringing up an old thread.

 

Keep trollin' bro.

 

Did you see him trolling on 06RangerXLT's thread?

 

Go to the Mint 400, tell me how many fast trucks have 4WD.

 

Not trolling so much as calling that guy out for asking $13k for a truck that was hacked together. Poor welds, kinked tubing in the bumper, butt welds on the bed cage. Kid spent more time washing and waxing his truck then making sure it went together properly.

Should have know this would end up a bro fan club forum.

 

I'm not saying you were in the wrong, I just thought it was funny.

I was just surprised to see a reply to such an old thread

 

I was doing some looking around and stumbled across this thread and forum. I read that thread from start to finish, I liked his ideas and overall scheme. The truck looked good on the surface, but the build photos showed the shotty work.

That thread did help me see how my truck would look with 3" flared fenders and 33×12.5's, but that may not be the route I go.

 

That is pretty debatable. Have you ever heard of 4wd long travel?

 

The majority of fast offroad trucks are 2WD. A arm trucks with 2WD pull more and bigger travel numbers then the comparable 4WD A arm models do. More travel means more speed. To the best of my knowledge, there are no equal length TTB trucks out there, but an abundance of I beam equal length trucks. Now on to solid front axles, 1700 Class Jeepspeed truck's are are almost ALL 2WD, they pull the 4WD axle out and put a 2WD carrier beam in. Unless you are talking center mounted A arm 4WD, there really isn't a comparison between the two drive modes. Sure, 4WD is good for getting you out of a sticky slow speed spot, but 2WD is faster and more reliable. Unless you raced or drove King of the Hammers every weekend, 4WD is useless for going fast offroad.

 

You can still mob a 4wd long travel truck. With the long travel kits available you can easily drive pretty fast over rough terrain. I see what you're saying about the 2wd rigs with more travel. That being said, a long travel 4wd truck would not be considered slow by any means. Ask anyone on here with long travel 4wd.

 

It's time to get some new tires on my DD
I want something a little more mean and bigger but functional for on and off road
Can anyone recommend anything? Right now I have stock tires and rims and no lift kit.
