Lifting 2wd

[94xlt4.0]

blinker fluid is a must on a lifted 2wd, you may even want a blinker fluid cooler to keep the temps down too

See, thats where most people who lift a 2WD go wrong. With the higher altitude of a lifted truck, you're closer to the sun, so your headlight fluid and blinker fluid start to overheat. A headlight fluid and blinker fluid cooler is a must. A good point is also to add a scoop/duct to move clean, cool air towards the cooler. Please keep this in mind all owners of lifted 2WD's.

yea lifiting a 2wd is way easier cause you dont have to worry about angles as much most wear is eliminated and the parts are somewhat cheaper. most of the wear is on the bearings and that is from the larger offset wheels.......I love my truck.... im not hardcore offroad but it gave me the clearance i needed in the desert in NV to get my quad out and just looked cool in everyday driving.....btw mine was a 3-4inch with 31s

you could probably fit 30x9.50s on it with no lift at all. i ran mine that way for a year before leveling it and had no rubbing issues.

Your transmission and rear end should be able to handle 30's easily. 30x9.50 should fit, I've seen 2wd's with 235/75/15's on stock suspension first hand.

I was talking to a gearhead friend of mine and he said most people avoid liftin the 2wd trucks because it can screw up ur front end like cv joint wear and just odd things like that...any opinions?

Your gearhead friend sure don't know anything!!!! I have had both lifted 2wd and 4wd trucks ans SUV's and never had a problem with any of them. I keep my stuff for years to prove it as well!!! If you do something right ...it is done right....most likley you so called gearhead idiot must to shoddy work...stay away from his work...don't let him touch your truck!!!!!

What are you doing in my driveway!

I got 235/75/15 on mine it runs better with 4.10 gears but 373 work okay. Dont rub or anything ever. I'm going to level front end this week if the weather holds up. You can try the junk yard for a used tires if money is tight or craigs list. The front is only place you will have a problem, back has room to spare. You may need some fallopian tubing and duct tape.

I run 31's and only rub when wheel is on that last 1/4 turn, adn even then its not bad at all. No lift on mine.
