Advantages of 2WD over 4x4 when wanting more Show than Go?

Greetings TW,
Curious about other's ideas on setup wheels/tires/lift/leveling kit with a pre-runner and any advantages to getting a more aggressive look without having to worry about off-road performance. Looking for a wide stance and big rims without using the mud/snow tires, etc. Have spent some time researching on the site and really appreciate any advice/suggestions. While I don't want to waste $, I also want to do things right the first time and don't want to sacrifice quality over convenience.
Thinking about the 285 Toyo Open Country AT2 R18 with either Fuel Beast or Black Rhino Glamis rims, 3 inch lift with leveling kit. Would love some feedback and/or see some pics if anyone has a similar set up. Also, what's the best kit out there if $ wasn't a factor?
Again, thanks for your help...
