    Same, but the other voice in my head that says "fuck it, just buy that shit, you know you want it!" Keeps getting louder and louder and the other guy sounds like a little pussy so...

    OP you could also go the other end of the spectrum and SLAM that thing. Imagine opening your tailgate and when it comes down you just step into the bed. Effortless doggy entry too.

    I already have a "build" in mind. Nothing extreme by any means. 1 - 1.75 lift in the front. AAL in the rear. 265/75 tires. Pretty much call it a day. Def not trying to make it look like I ready to hit the trails. I have 2wd and I know it. My goal for any vehicle I mod is to make it look like its stock. I personally would not want anything on my truck that looks like its aftermarket. By no means is there anything wrong with that, just not my style.

    So really I was just wondering how TW would build a 2wd truck without going totally crazy.

    My 11 yr old husky would appreciate this. I unfortunately would be ashamed to take this out of the garage.

    Honestly this thing looks a hell of a lot better than all the lowered honda civics and chevy silverados I see. Still would not drive it because its too low to the ground, but doesn't look as bad as I expexted

    It has a massive wheel spacer in the rear. The wheel doesn't even hide the drum.

    Lol I never said I'd drive the thing, I think I just like the wide body fenders. But I did not buy my truck for its fucking fenders.

    I plan on buying 5100s with 885 coils and a 3 leaf AAL. This should get me about 2.25” in front and 2” in back (leaving in the overload). A 4x4 would need the 887 coil for same front lift height.
    No need for UCA or extended break lines, etc.
    I already put 255/75/17 (32.1”) on it.
    It’ll be sometime later this summer and I’ll let you know how it turns out.

    Good tires and a rear locker is all you will ever need.
