    What fucking gate? You're on drugs.

    But seriously I wouldn't go LT. Run some foxes, depending on how much you're willing to spend, some 2.0s with resis will probably do the job. Get you 2"s higher, look sexy AF, and with the money you save on going 2.0 instead of 2.5, drop it on some king bumpstops:headbang:

    i had planned something like this myself but keeping 4x4. as you've probably found, doing this right is rebuilding the truck and custom chassis and suspension, this is not off the shelf unless you're doing a shortcut version. i still may be in after the truck needs a full tear down & rebuild. that's more fun than buying a new vehicle for me, and will cost probably about twice as much (because there will be drivetrain stuff in my project, too).

    Yea that’s too far out of my league. I’m just trying to have a little more fun out there. Don’t really want a full year down and rebuild. I might just start small like these guys said see where that takes me

    Does it really matter what some random stranger on the internet says about your inferior 2wd truck?

    I like the idea of a pre-runner and if I lived in the right part of the country that is exactly what I'd build. You don't need 4wd to have a lifted truck.

    Lol, no it doesn’t. I like my 2wd superior truck. Cheaper, less parts, better gas mileage and it looks better than an OR and honestly most guys don’t even use their 4x4. they just have it “just in case” but will probably rarely, if ever, use it. A lot of people do use it but I’m willing to bet most OR never see dirt of any kind. I don’t want or need the 2wd trash talking people on TW seem to do. Lol I just wanted some insight.

    About 3 to 4 thousand for a full king, or fox set up. Pending if you get good deals or shop for some slightly used stuff. But closer to 5k if all new set up.

    Ucas, bump stops, u bolt flip kit, spindles (if he wants them) and other miscellaneous things, plus if he pays to have it installed are going to add up.
