Whats the best way for me to give my POS 2wd nissan a lift.  I would get a toyota 4wd but being dirt poor is making things a bit tough.

i wheeled my 2wd toy more than i've ever wheeled the 4x4 i have now :stopit: that's what happens when you buy something that needs $1000s in repairs :slap:

My truck is tiny but it works.  That is the most amount of mud that truck as ever had on it. besides with the small crappy tires sliding 50-60 feet sideways is really easy.

Dude If you want cheap go Jareds way the marlin springs are good (havent tried them but everything they make is top notch this isnt the exception) but are a little more than I think you want to spend

marlins will give you just what waggies and hybrids will... they will also give you a dented pocket.....  Ill fab the stuff so youll be covered.... i could get some springs for cheap.  and you got the rears already......   Ill add up the cost....
