I don't like the way my truck looks in stock form, it seems the body and wheel base don't match. The truck has a huge body and the wheels are so small that they don't fill up the fenders.



How do you guys go about doing a lift job? I really like the looks of the stock 4x4 height. If I wanted to lift my truck to a stock 4x4, would it cost a lot? would I be better off selling my truck and getting a 4x4 instead?

I like the 2 wheel drive mpg though...

 

search. put a body lift on it and buy bigger tires.. which you will need to regear for...it all comes down to how much you want to spend.
it will kill your mileage

 

sorry forgot to add I did search. most I found was recommended bolt on lift kits and some some expensive pro stuff.

I should have been more specific.

My uncle is looking to sell the stock tires off his 2006 keep wrangler. They are 30X9.50x15 tires for real cheap. So I was ALSO looking to fabricate or find the cheapest way to lift the truck for these tires.

 

keep ur truck stock for the mpg and by a 4x4 to play with. gas aint cheap

 

i understand.

but what should i do if my uncle is almost giving away his jeep wrangler tires !? my truck needs them too, look at the fenders ! it looks like crap with the big fenders and nothing to fill them up !

I have to try them...............

 

I agree completely. I have done this. I get 20 mpg in my 4x4 and 28-30 in my 2wd.

If you really want to do it go out and buy a cheap body lift. You'll be able to fit them after that.

 

Get some 4WD fenders and corner lights, some 2wd ball joint spacers, and maybe a 1" or so shackle for the back.

Throw some 15x7 steelies and some 31/10.50s up on her. probably look pretty good then.
