do 4x4's sit higher off the ground? I know the suspension is different, I'm curious as to how much (if any) more ground clearance there is vs the 4x2. also, how big can you go on the tires before you need a lift?
YA they sit maybe 6 inches higher than the 2wd. Completey different front suspension on the 4wd. I think 31" would be the limit for a stock 4wd with the torsion bars cranked up a bit. There was a upgraded torsion bar / upper arm combo available for these trucks a few years ago but I have not seen one in a long time.
