Lift kit on a 2wd???

**00Silverado2WD** · 09-06-2009, 04:12 PM

I have a 2000 silverado 2wd. Do you think it would look good with a leveling kit, 3in body lift, and 33 inch buckshots all around? I have to do something in order to keep up with my buddies. Also im on a budget so a 1500$ 6in lift is out of the question. If you have any suggestions please tell me. thanks

i wouldnt go to crazy with the lift since its a 2wd your not gonna be goin mudding hardcore with it i assume,and its gonna be robbing gas mileage.but a leveling kit with a 2" body lift would be ok.

the leveling kit and 3 inch body lift would look good. Just maybe get some all terrain tires since your not going to be doing alot of offroading with the 2wd

to the untrained eye itll look just like any lifted truck only those in the know are going to notice!

With the 2 inch and a level, definately, with a 3 inch and a level you should be better off.

i got a 95 silverado, i did all that, man i fully reccommend it, i love my truck now it looks so good and i get so many compliments now... i lost 1 mpg and im gaining it back, im puttin in an air intake and i just added my dual exhaust, that might even get me more than i had before, but i very ceccommend it, i put mud terrains and i can really really mud and it drops jaws

You might think about 3" lift "spindles" and see how it looks. I'm not sure that you wouldn't be able to run 33" tires w/o the body lift. Just a thought!
