Hello from Kansas
« on: July 09, 2014, 03:16:38 pm »
Hello everyone,
I've been on the market for quite a while to get my first square. I've always loved this body style with a little lift. I've been searching for a 4x4 but I've found a nice little GMC that I really like but I'm not sure I would be able to lift it up very easily to put on bigger wheels. I would use it as a work truck for my house that I just purchased which needs a lot of work and then just to have fun driving around. I'm not even sure I would ever need 4x4 but like the idea of having it. Any input on if I could achieve that look with this truck or if I should keep waiting for a 4x4. Thanks!

     Welcome from California.  You have a couple of options with your truck. 
     They do make a small lift so you can put 31's on it.  Or you could wait to find a 4x4 frame and swap everything, if you really needed a 4x4.  Or buy a 4x4 truck and have 2.
