Hope this is the best place to post this. Im wanting to do a RCSB build. Curious to what everyones opinion is on weather can get a 2wd to hook up or should look for a 4wd. The truck will be used mainly on the street for messing around and cruising. But will see occasional time at the track.

 

Only way you will match a 4wd with a half decent tire on the street with a 2wd is with a full slick and prep.

2wd generally performs better at the track, or at least, with less effort.

 

Yea was originally wanting a 2wd. The more I think about it. I think the 4wd would be more fun. Wonder if I could lower one to achieve the same stance as a 2wd.

 

Lowering is still possible but not as much. You have cv angles to keep in mind.

I'd prefer 2wd for a fun truck, less hassle to me.

 

Yea a 2wd would definitely be a lot easier. But never being able to hook on the street would get old too. I think if invest in a good quality lowering kit. With spindles for the front. Would help keep CV geometry good.

 

You can always do coilovers in the front for a much better ride. Shameless plug, see my sig for links on the swap for 4wd torsion bar trucks, I make the brackets to do the swap. Can go up to a 5in drop with factory hardware, although a 3in drop will put the cvs where you want them. Feel free to pm me with any questions!

 

Your kit looks good. Ill keep it in mind for when I get something.

 

you can lower a 4wd just like you can a 2wd. I have my z71 lowered 4.5-5inches in the front and 8ish in the rear and my cv angles arent bad at all..i mean there not flat but not angled either..lol

 

Have a side pic of your truck? Im thinking that would be plenty low enough for me.

How much power are you putting down? Ever 4wd launch hard?

 

I would do a 3/5 drop on a 4wd and covert it to AWD for the street. If you think 2wd burnouts are fun try spining all 4. haha

The other thing to keep in mind is how much power you really will realistically put down. Most people have plans that are much bigger than what ends up happening. Realistically its pretty easy to hook if you are only making 350-400rwhp. If you know right off the bat you are gonna be 50+ then yeah traction becomes a bigger issue. Don't forget the bad boys putting down 600+rwhp are dumping serious money into their rides.
