lifting the 2wd 1500

i had my mind made up im going to lift my 90 cheyenne 1500 rough country makes 2wd lift kits for a pretty cheap price $440.00 for the whole kit.

i know alot of people dont like lifted 2wds but i also have a lifted 98 silverado and i dont like small vehicles so thats the reason for the lift.

no i was just going to do a supsension lift and now do a body lift.

nw my question is what kind of stress does the put on the truck if its just a dialy driver and probally wont ever see mud.

anybody have any pics of lifted 2wds please post

i was thinking about going with a 4in lift with 33's

thanks

Thousands of trucks like these here in SoCal. Most call them Pre-runners. Styled after what the race teams use to pre run baja type desert races to spare the race truck. The actual prerunner of a race team worth it's salt are on coilovers and I-beams.

Problems? Nothing much. You'd be amazed what these trucks will take.
