BL, cheap to fit big tires but only the change in tire size affects your clearance
Suspension, expensive but will give you more clearance up front for IFS

yea. are there any suspension lifts for my truck that are less than the ones i found for $580? and if not, is there a way to do it piece by piece for cheaper? and i plan on doing most of the work myself.

and mudding isnt 90% driver...its a 50/50 split, you need a capable rig and a good driver to do any sort of responsible offroading...

mudding...responsible offroading...mudding...responsible offroading... i think those dont fit that great. safe offroading, yes. responsible? out of that 90% thats driver, 50% is experiance. the other 40 is knowing ur vehicle. i would take someone thats mudded for many years in a little truck sittin on little wheels, with a little engine, over some kid thats never seen mud before in a skyhigh f250 on massive wheels and such

If I was going to mud a 2wd, I'd lift it high enough to run at least 33" mud tires, do a rear axle swap to one out of a 4wd with 8" ring gears and a stock 4.10 ratio, add a locker and go to town with it.
At that point you've done all to it that you can.
Then when you get tired of getting stuck buy a 4wd.
You'll still get stuck but you'll get twice as far in to it before you do as a 2wd truck...
