Can you lift a 2 wheel drive truck? Have always been curious.

Yes you can. One best lift kits for 2wd trucks are made by Fab-tech.I personally have never bought any of their 2wd lifts but loved the one I had on my previous 4x4 F-150.

Yes but it makes an open statement about your manhood.

its a waste of money. bogs down your vehicle, gets worse fuel mileage and you still get stuck just as fast

not to mention the increased drive angle can stress various components. Lift does not really hurt until to get some tires to fit the additional space in the wheel wells.

Never really understood why anyone would lift and add bigger wheels and tires to a two wheeled drive truck. Spend extra money on something that doesn't improve anything, its still two wheeled drive.

I never understood why people would wash a truck. It's just a truck. Haven't washed mine in five years.

Lifting a 2 wheel drive truck has some advantages over lifting a 4WD truck. 1) It allows you to get stuck in more accessable locations. Then anyone with 4WD can pull you out. 2) You don't have to worry about your wife driving it down the highway in 4WD Low and then complain that it was noisy and slow.

diff between 2wd and 4wd is with 2wd you get stuck before the frame hits the mud. Lift does not really help much on either until you get bigger tires. That is when the mpgs really tank.
