Leveled 2wd's?

I jut did a quick search and only came across one leveled 2wd.

Specifically looking for a leveled 2wd with stock tires/wheels. However, would love to see what everyone is running these days.

I miss the 2.5" level with 30/50/20's I had on my '05. My only regret was doing a 9" wide wheel. With time I will do it again, but with 10 or 12" wide wheels.

Thanks guys.

Here are a couple pictures of the old '05... i will go a similar route with this truck, less the spot lights.

I dont know if i should wait on tires/wheels to do the leveling kit... or go ahead and stick it on now...




believe it or not, this is a boat ramp... makes for a fun time in a 2wd.

Well, I guess they aren't too common. I ordered a 2.5" kit today. I will have some pictures by the beginning of the week.

Well,


Installed the leveling kit this evening. I'm going to align it in the morning at our shop. I'll snap a few pictures tomorrow.

I went with a rough country 2.5" kit. Man does it sit bulldogged.... It has much more of a bulldog stance than my 05. Maybe the shorter wheelbase has something to do with it?

I will eventually pick up some 305/50/20 cooper zeon ltz's and 20x10 wheels as well.

Pics to follow.

Did you end up picking up that 2 door? Not sure why you couldn't find any pics, a lot of people have your exact set up

I put a 2" level on my 06 2wd and even that made it bulldog enough that I went and got a block for the rear. I think how much towing the truck has done in its life is a big factor, every truck seems to be different. A block for your rear will look good, maybe a 1-1.5" if you can find one, I couldn't so I got a 2" one. I like a bit of rake though

I needed up buying a 2010. They sold the 08 I was looking at before we finished negotiations.

Thanks man. I bought a house a few months ago. Hauling around 100 bags of mulch, countless plants, sod, toilets, and more wasn't possible with the focus. I was burnt out anyways. It served its purpose, helped me get my credit into the mid 700's... Cheap on gas... But, it was a car.

Here's one I did several years ago, it was a lease and couldn't (didn't want to) go heavy on the mods, but I did like the leveled 4wd look:
