Stock ride height between 2wd and 4wd

[Fancysauce]

Evening guys,

Just made the switch from a f-150 to a 21 1500 bighorn. I am struggling to find the stock heights between a 2wd and 4wd for appearance comparison. I decided against a 4wd this time around, and am trying to see what a 3.5 SST readylift would look like, but most online pics represent a 4WD. Unless they are the same height regardless. From what I have found myself it seems they might be, but not positive on it. Anyone out there have any insight on this? I appreciate the help, I am most likely overlooking the google searches haha.

Pick a model and scroll to dimensions here.

I just tried whatever the default was and compared 2WD to 4WD and it shows .1" difference. I would put that to different tires.

The suspension is pretty much the same. There's just no differential and half shafts up front. It's not like the olden days with coil springs and A-arms versus leaf springs and a straight axle.

Maxtrac is the best kit for 2WD

I started out with a 2wd Bighorn and did a 3.5” lift with 33” tires. This is what it looks like:

Awesome, thanks for the input guys! And sweet! looks good man, I'm glad i got to see a confirmed 2wd with a 3.5 on it. Basically looking for a similar setup with 35s. The guys at the shop were nudging me towards a 6in, but i'm really loving the look of the 3.5 on these bodies. Almost seems its the sweet spot for me. And ill check out maxtracs, what makes them the better choice for 2wd?

Maxtrac uses a lift spindle as opposed to achieving its lift from a spring, top hat spacer etc. Since they do use a lift spindle they are designed only for 2wd trucks. The benefit of a spindle lift would be your suspension geometry remains stocks, so it should ride like stock.
