Hey, If you really what to haul stuff from time to time a lift will only hinder it. I had a 6" lift on my Ford 4X4 and the bed came up to my chest almost. And you'll have to lift anything your hauling up that far, not fun. And not to mention where you'll have to put the ball for towing. But like someone else said, "I reckon to each his own."

 

added these tonight. pics of truck will be up in when its light out.

 

Now these are super interesting. I already did the downey 2" rear lift and would like some more space (I have a heavy toolbox back there and my hitch that added weight).

With these shackles you keep your same ride correct? Also do you have a part number I think I am going to pick up a set of these for my truck.


FAUXbyFOUR - friggen hilarious!

 

after shackle install



the shackles are from downey off-road. there the heavy duty ones. part # 42089-2R. i got the shackles and new bushings for a little under $80 shipped to me.

 

Thanks for the part number. I will shoot them an email now.

Truck is looking good dude.

 

2'' 4crawler body lift



hey Mods, could i get this moved to the 86-95 section?

 

This is what im really looking to do with mine im just having difficulties finding where to order Sway-A-Ways/other torsion bars. Cant seem to be able to just order em off the site Ive already been saving but now that i got it i cant order them!!!!

 

i dont know it still looks stock to me..

 

I was able to get a pair of Downey Torsion bars. They are ok but their rear springs were not the best.

I ended up redoing my rear with Northwest Offroad springs and downey shocks. I think I am maybe an inch higher than stock. I drive next to stock bodied pickups and I am right with them.

Still happy with the ride. Just replaced my shocks and front bushings.

Yeah I think for a rwd to really look lifted you need more than a 2" lift.

 

lol i was going to lift my 2wd toyota and honeslty from my reasearching and all that im going to be honest and blantant just save your money and get a 4x4 lol thats what im doing! lol

 

that lil yota looks good with the body lift tho! lol

 

hmm...pretty old thread. his truck looks a lot different now, long travel up front i think. maybe he'll pop in and post some updated pics. turning a 2wd into a rock crawling trail rig probably isn't the greatest idea, but long travel suspension parts are more readily available for 2wd IFS front set ups and spring under is better for high speed/impact. I'm sure there are more reasons, but ton's of prerunner-type trucks are 2wd. check out race-dezert.com and dezertrangers.com for used parts. if you're patient you'll find what you're looking for guaranteed.
