Re: 4WD or 2WD
I say 4wd because they just look big and bad!
But seriously... Do you need the 4wd?

Re: 4WD or 2WD
4WD on a crewcab dually will help a great deal with steering on slick pavement or mud, especially when towing.

Re: 4WD or 2WD
I vote for Alcoa classic wheels\Firestone Transforce A\T tires and a Banks turbo kit, that should wipe out your cash! Both are plentiful used.
I have wanted to do a 4x4 conversion on my 1ton and it simply is not worth the work, I have tried justifying the swap and there is just no way. Last edited by Shawn5488; 03-15-2011 at 07:41 PM. |

Re: 4WD or 2WD
4x4 all the way! You'll love it when you go to start out on soggy ground and your rear tires start to spin.

Re: 4WD or 2WD
Everyone has a 2wd. Making it a 4wd isn't that hard.

Re: 4WD or 2WD
you can drive a 4X4 as a 2 wheeler
but you can't drive a 4X2 as a 4 wheeler

Re: 4WD or 2WD
That's the way I see it too. You don't have to use the 4x4, but when you need it, it's sure nice to have it.

Re: 4WD or 2WD
you've already said you wont lower it, so 4X4 is your only option now !
22.5 with a stanard size tire would be really cool when you do the conversion.
