4X2 lift?

[WhiteSE]

Just out of curiosity, is lifting a 4x2 politically correct?

[Jeffishere]

dont see why not, one day im gonna set mine up to hopefully be a bad *** pre runner

Lost of fast off road racecars and trucks are 2wd. Just dont gay it up with big wheels and other disco crap.

From my stand point I have never really understood why a person would take a 2WD truck and lift it 6,8 even 10 inches. When I see a lifted truck I think it is lifted for a reason. when I see a lifted 2WD truck I think someone is just to get some high school booty.

BUT I hate having my 2WD truck sitting low in the front. So Im leveling my truck...

But I have a different perspective than alot of people. i grew up in a placed where lifted trucks were used for what they was made for. and 2WD trucks was non-exsistent, they was pointless.

I had a friend who purchased a cheap-o 2wd dodge a few years back and got the most base model possible cause he was a cheap-o. then turned right around and spent over $4000 on a huge lift tires and wheels just because it looked cool and it got the attention of the girlies. It was almost like seeing those guys running around in there 1990 Honda Accords that are worth about $500 with a set of 22" Giovana wheels wrapped with rubber bands that cost about $10,000.

But to each his own, if you like it and its what you want. then do it bro. its your truck and no one else's. your the one that drives it, pays for it and puts gas in the tank. dont model your vehicle around what others want you to do.

My lifted 2wd will school a stock 4wd in the dirt/rocks/whatever and many built or lifted 4wds in the desert.

Of course it can be taken too far and turned into disco crap.

Disco Like This???

ok, Hawaiians speak Hawaiian, it's our language, but I still speak better english than you

1st off, my 17" rims w/33" tires were $2,000+ so it isn't hard to spend $4000+ on a rim tire/lift combo... second giovanna 22"s DO NOT cost $10,000 or even HALF that cut it into 4 and you're getting closer... the ONLY rims I've seen that are blingers that run $10,000 are the dub pimpstar spinners that you program custom sh!t to be displayed in the rim while it's running though the multi-color led setup it has goin on... as for lifted trucks doing what they should. I think you're a kid who's just as lost as the people you're pointing the finger at... as stated, purpose built 2wds would probably run circles around any 4wd you've probably ever had the pleasure of riding in.. I've personally mudded my truck in 2wd and have seen others do even more rediculous wheeling in 2wd. I did most of this in 2wd and with stock tires/rims that obviously don't stick out AND my mudflaps were still on...

only time I was in 4wd was to get speed other than that 2wd was where it would spin tires...



this was like 2+ years ago and I have YET to see someone locally do something like that rolling a stock vehicle.... if I setup a 2wd w/locker and performance suspension lift and tires I'd be able to do WAY more wheeling than anything I've seen locally... granted I wouldn't choose a titan as a base line, I'd probably run an F250 super duty w/5.4 gas for the high rev powerband (only reason I prefer gas over diesel) so I dunno what kinda grass you've been smoking but it's probably not as caked with shrooms as my truck the day after I went mudding obviously you are mistaken with what 2wd and 4wd means... baja/prerunner trucks can do retarded offroading/desert running. I'm 90% sure that's what most west cost trucks are setup for.. mudding is fun, but different strokes for different folks... you gotta realize if everyone was like you the world would be no fun at all... likewise for me. so don't just run around liping and hating on others because you think it's something wrong. I dislike import race vehicles and think it's wasting time.. but I don't hate on them. and I respect the fact they work on their vehicles and make them do impressive things... me personally I'd like to get some 22" rims with spinners and knobby tires mudd the fuk out of it, wipe one little spot on each spinner clean so everyone can tell they're chrome spinners and run around with them caked in mud spinning JUST so people can see I don't give a fuk and I STILL ramble my sh!t not that I have 22"s or spinners to do it with, but I was looking into both just for the fun part I stated above

and I'm kinda drunk, not just trying to bash that's why all the smilies still havin fun here

I kinda of agree with him. 2wd are pointless around here. I would like to see any 2wd follow me down some of my local trails for more than a half of mile. Sure you can do minor little mudding in a 2wd, i used to do it in my old 2wd f150. But i got tired of being strapped to someone all the time and my buddies got tired of pulling me out all the time. Im not talking about little mudholes in cow pastures like in the picture above either. Im talking about wet muddy hills with no bottom at all. Hell a lot of people cant make it with a 4wd including me sometimes. Now this all depends on where you live and how you use your truck. For example their is no way in hell i would be able to keep up with kartman in the desert in my 4wd and my truck would be pointless to him.

"Useless" trucks in action. . . all of them 2WD

[DiabloDelSol]

and a few more. . .

[yamatitan]

The trucks above are worthless around here. Just as much as my truck would be worthless out there.

it's pretty much been established on this forum that 2wd w/mild lifts do fine on the west coast....4wd trucks lifted to the sky with 22s and mudders are fine in florida......and mild 4wd lifts are advantageous somewhere in the middle

but to each his own WhiteSe

Bunch of 2WD "HATERS"!!!

I agree! But they need 4wd because our state doesn't flood! But then again the Pro Modified Swamp Buggies are 2WD.
