the 4x4 pic posted actually shows the hood rise to allow for the taller fenders. compare a pic of each truck, small and large, and you can see the height difference at the front of the hood as well as a different line where the fenders and hood meet.
if you're looking to build a truck like the 4x4 then a frame swap might be the way to go. the wider fenders on the big fendered truck would cover the wider stance of the newer 4x4 better.
