    Post your lifted 2wd's!

    What and where are these magical extended control arms y'all speak of? I've had my truck lifted, broke, and in process of rebuilding the upper control arms as I've since snapped them. Looked over a year now and have yet to find an extended control arm.

    The overdone question of lifting a 2wd

    I've done the 4in spindle from RC and 2in ball joint spacer and flip as well as a 1.25in coil lift. My camber is absolutely horrible but I plan on addressing it. Please keep us posted on the Airbagit control arms. I've really been considering them but I've also already purchased the camber kit...

    2wd 1500 vs 2500

    Looking for an answer as to what I can and can't tow with my truck. I've hauled with it for quite some time but nothing heavy for what a 1500 could handle. I have an 88 2500 2wd 6 lug with a gutless 305and 700r4, can't remember the rear end gears but they're horrible as well. Anyways, I was...

    15" Directional wheels - will they fit?

    I currently have 15x14s that are 6 lug on my truck. They have a 4in backspace which is like a -88mm? offset. Fits just fine, I've seen many other trucks with 15s as well. Like ChrisAU said they fit all the 1500s. My truck is a 2500 but it's a 2wd 6 lug so it's, as far as I know, pretty much the...

    So I have this old truck

    Ok so I finally have a little bit of an update, living 300 miles away from the truck and only being home on the weekends mostly for extra work doesn't help. But I did finally get the rear blocks in. They're 5" blocks so the back sits about 1.5" higher than the front

    2 Wheel Drive 7.5" Lift

    lol good luck. I'd like to find one myself but Fabtech no longer makes these 7.5" kits so you"ll have to find someone selling a used one.

    Lifted 2wd alignment issue

    Are these extened arms from a fabtech kit? or just standard length?

    So I have this old truck

    Thanks man, much appreciated. Its supposed to have that throwback feel. I want to go higher in hopes of getting that old school Hawaiian style truck look like they used to do to mini trucks. That's pretty much the reason for the stretch.

    So I have this old truck

    finally got the wheels and lug nuts on last night, pretty excited even though most of the members on here are more of a fan of a more classic build

    So I have this old truck

    My truck is a 1988 C2500 light duty truck. I bought this truck back in 2016. It was my first truck and I kind of fell in love with it after some time. Since then its through several changes and given me a few scares. I wish I'd taken pictures of it when I first had it. I bought it not running...

    I ordered the spacers shown in the picture along with moog hd ball joints from rockauto, I went with proforged for the lowers but have yet to install them. The uppers went pretty smoothly with almost no issues

    Minus the body lift that's exactly what I'm trying to do. I would like to get the body lift eventually but it as not exactly in the budget right now. I'm hoping it works

    Do you have a link for the 2wd arms? And how much can you adjust?

    C2500 with 4wd upper control arms for a 2-4" lift

    I was reading on another thread that someone used ball joint spacers and did a ball joint flip. I think this may be the way I'll have to go. I can't find the thread but I'll post it as soon as I find it. It's very similar to the same thing I'm doing...
