This is a 2" body and about 3" suspension.

It's now dropped 4" front and 6" rear.

You can body lift a 2wd the same as a 4x4. But what's the point? It would be easier to start with a 4x4 and convert the rear to trailing arm, and have a jump truck

I think it all depends on what you want and where you're going to drive it... I live in the desert, We have quite a few off sanctioned off road races in this area. The Now defunct Pahrump 500. and the Herbst 250.
I wanted a PRE-RUNNER look, which I figured I attained. But along with that, I used to to climb in the mountains and desert gulches.. (That's why no nice paint) It had 33-12/50s A locker rear,Axle truss,Front skid plate,(with lots of scratches) Rancho 9000 shocks, Engine was built for low RPM torque, along with 4:10 gears, and a Off road/RV torque convertor. I took it places that I had to take pictures of it there, So the Search and rescue guys would believe I had a 2 wheel drive in those places.

But at the same time I'm not saying that a 4 wheel drive wouldn't out climb it. As I said, It depends on how and where you are going to drive, and the look you want. I decided to lower it when I bought my 2001 Ford F-350 4X4..
