She wants to go high with it, and put my 31's on it when can afford some 33's for mine.

I would like to ditch the roof rack and nerf bars and put Bullits or Cobra R's on it.

I already have an offroader....Not that I would complain having 2 :D

What do you think?

Nope no dents...I just noticed what your talking about! :rolleyes: Thats a reflection from the pole weird....Her paint is almost perfect and very glossey! ;) Besides we call it the "go faster truck" cause it's got the SOHC :p
 






33's, 3" spindle + 1" TT, and some 4" leaves :cool: 'Course then it would have more ground clearance than your Rig. :D

Seriously though, put the 31's on hers, along with a nice TT/Shackle. Gives you (and her) more of an excuse to get your 33's. ;)

Looks like you made up your mind in your signature.

If you ask me... well, you know... its a no-brainer. :chug:
 






Drop the puppy on 20s
 






Since it's a 2wd you can lift it more than 2" btw...up to 7" i beleive (but dont' do that...it'll ride terrible!). Just letting you know your not as limited as the 4x4 since you don't have to worry about the cv's up front. LIFT THAT PUPPY! :)

Good Luck
CP :D
 






Put the money into your own rig stic-o!!!!!!!
 






I'd say lower just because it's 2wd...buuut...it's gonna more cost efficient and it gives you an excuse to get 33s if you raise it
 






I didnt see an option for mine!! The suspension sits lower than stock but it sits on 35" tires!! 2wd too!!
 






Lower it. 4x2 would be useless in offroad conditions... I mean, especially when it's your wife's truck ;) think about a women trying to get outta a mud pit without 4WD, not happenin.
