2wd lift kit

https://www.ebay.com/itm/155103569931

Saw this on eBay. I know there’s a recipe on here for using 88-98 lift spindles, but this kit is a complete setup with arms too. People have been waiting for a kit like this for a while, someone needs to be a test case

Re: 2wd lift kit

Dang! Proud of them aren't they?

I picked up a used lift for an 88-98 2wd. The seller's teenaged son said "Why would you want to lift a 2wd truck" to which I replied "Because I hate the stance of a 2wd truck, I already have 3 Jeeps if I need 4wd, and it was my grandfather's truck so I don't want to sell it and get a 4wd truck"

I have Dad's 83 GMC he bought new, 2wd. I much prefer the stance of a 4wd, even though I know it's a "poser" thing to do, But $1800!!!!???

Definitely ain’t cheap. Then again it is a 7 inch lift with all new components. I have two K5 Blazer so as far as four-wheel-drive goes, I’m good. But I also have my dad’s 78 2 Wheel Dr. that I grew up in. I just like the simplicity of the 2 Wheel Dr. front and plus it’s something different that you don’t see every day.

Yep, same reason I'm keeping these two 2wheel drives. Family vehicles.

I didn't realize that was a 7" lift. That's pretty big! I'd like to have something about stock 4wd height.

They Also offered just the 4 inch lift spindles That’ll work with the stock arms. That’ll probably get you to stock four-wheel-drive Height
