2WD Suspension Question
 
I am currently considering trading in my 06 on a new truck as I have found myself in need more cab space then the reg cab can provide. I dont really NEED a 4x4 so I am strongly considering a 2wd but i have a few issues with that. Some of the places I go require more ground clearance then a 2wd has and I prefer to sit as high as possible so i can see over traffic and such. Is there a way to lift a 2wd truck enough to fit a 33 inch tire without rubbing? I remember seeing a company that sold a lift kit for the 2wd's but I cannot find them now. Any help would be appreciated.

i checked fab-tec, kore, superlift and rancho. found plenty for the 1/2 tons but nothing for the big trucks. good luck.

didn't check for body lifts tho but i don't like them anyway.

haven't done business with these people, buyer beware, but their product looks great!

cost is about 3.5K

You can lift a 2 WD, check with 4 wheel parts to see who makes the lift and then buy it from some one else.

It is not that much more coin for a 4x though is it?

I contacted them last Oct. and he told me he retired and was no longer doing this, I wanted that setup on mine but settled for the Cowtown sleeper i bought. You can also raise a 2wd with daystar coil spacers. I run 285's on my 2wd dually with 1 1/2" Daystars. They make them bigger but you have to modify something else. 2" is as big as you can go with stop components.
