disadvantages of 4x2 bodylifts

[quiksie]

I've read sa ibang thread na masama, pangit o ricey daw ang 4x2 lifts. Is this true? Nagdaalawang isip tuloy ako pabodylift si quiksie? Ano kaya ang maganda gawin. Advice naman po mga pips. Pakipost lang advantages or disadvantages when doing bodylifts sa 4x2's.:confused:

What is the purpose of your bodylifts? Is it for aesthetics only?

[empy]

well, from personal experience, lifted vehicles are impractical as a daily driver. this is especially true for elderly people or women in skirts.

now, an offroading guru can correct me if i'm wrong, but a 4x2 is next to useless offroad. the only functionality a lift will give you is better offroad capability.

so basically, you are trading comfort, practicality and a diminished *** life ;) for what? looks? the "rugged" porma?

just my opinion - it's your money...

depende sa plan mong gamit.

If its a frontier, parang "desert runner" kung nakabody lift. (4x2 lang and desert runner series ng nissan frontier in US). Edge nya is pang fast racing on semi-off road conditions. The lsd rear helps in small to medium problems that normal diff ay mababalaho ka na.

It would be trying hard sa mga purist 4x4 peeps but my opinion ay - its okay as long as you don't go beyond 2 inch body lift. With a 2 inch you can already upgrade to slightly bigger tires (31 or 33's) with lesser rubbing on the wall problems.

In my line of work, I'd do that upgrade.

hindi ba yung "titanium" series ng frontier 4x2 ay naka bodylift na?

[Kicker15]

personally parang di maganda yung naka lift na 4x2. kasi functionality pareho lang siguro yun.

yung mga nakikita ko na 4X2 na nakalowered astig

parang nakabodylist na po sir mazda kasi halos kasing taas na niya ang 4x4 pero nababaan pa rin ako sa kanya. I want the height of the strada kahit malapit na dun. Yup sacrifice sa comfort pero the frontier is matlbog na kaya siguro gusto ko stiffen ang ride.
Pag magpabodylift po ba walang effect sa airdrag meaning babagal ang kotse mo?
Uso na din ang baha ngayon pang lusong lang sa baha siguro ang purpose and looks pero i'm not going offroading mga offroad lang sa highways kasi daming lubak hehe joke!

tataas yung center of gravity ng sasakyan, which would have a negative effect on handling, aerodynamics, and rollover safety. how much depends on how much you lift

pwede pa naman i-off-road yan, lagyan mo ng diff lock yung rear differential hehe, that would go a very long way.

is there no other way to lift a 4x2? in the states, they sell lots of 3" to 6"suspension lifts for 4x2s. it is actually cheaper than the suspension lifts for 4x4s.

just don't put a 4x4 sticker on it after you lift.
