If it was me I would Just buy a 4X4.... They are alot cheaper and easier to find right now.

The 2WDs are going up in value.

Either way I am sure you could lift it pretty easily.

Research some of the suspension sites under links.

You can get 33's on it with fiberglass fenders and no lift in fact you can get 35's on it.

Check out that site. It has some info about fenders on it.

Go to fabtechmotorsports.com they have a very nice long travel two wheel drive kit for this model. Looks sharp and handles well I have heard. Good luck

you could do a few things...

add lift coils, they make 3" lift coils.. add coils spacers.. a 3/4" spacer will give you a couple inches of lift. rear lift is easy, shackle flip, or new springs (best way) or blocks (cheapest way).

i run 32" tires with no rubbing, i do have HD coils springs so my truck has 0 rake.. sits level.. and i rolled the top lip of the fender, but it is so slight you cant even tell unless you look close. rolled it just enough to keep it from slicing up the tires like it was doing. feel free to message me if you need more info...

Do you think that 2" lift coil springs would allow you to run a 33x12.50 on a 10" wide wheel with 4" backspacing without any rubbage?

i dont know about 10" wheels with 4" BS... my 32x11.50s on 8" wheel (not sure about BS) only barely rubbed until i rolled the fenders.. any wider and they would probably rub the lower part of the fenders.. here is a pic of my 32s this is with the wheel straight.. when turning there is less than 2 fingers width between tire and lower part of the fender..
