    because a spacer lift allows the front suspension to bypass the bump stop, effectively giving more up travel which allows you to hit whoops like a trophy truck. right? :D

    I'm going to guess the logic behind this is that there aren't any cv axles to put out of place and wear down early. But ball joints and whatnot will go just as quickly on the 2wd.. Stupid is as stupid does I suppose.

    I was not hatin just pointing out that a $180 lift is not a good lift.

    Sure it looks good now but because it does not do some things properly you may end up with other costs down the road. Hence if you had paid up front you would not have any hassles later.

    But if you would like some hate then I hate you because you are most likely in shorts and a tee shirt right now and where I am is was 5 degrees this morning so bah.:poking::stirthepot:

    No I wasn't talking about the truck! Haha

    I was talking about the idea that spacer lifts aren't as bad for 2wd's.

    I wouldn't be worried about ball joints or CV boots going bad with a spacer lift.

    I'm more worried about things like this happening when hitting a pothole.

    New Navigation DVD/CD/TV/AV/Bluetooth Stereo and seat mod spacers, 1" hubcentric spacers, seat heaters....
    a longer bump stop will alleviate the 'crunched strut' syndrome, recommended with lifts anyway....


    the rear block problem, eh, but the axle wrap will be torture on the springs usable lifespan...


    it does looks nice for $180, I don't hate it, the execution could have been a little richer, but whatever floats yer boat, go for it...
