Thinking about swapping to a DRW 2wd from my lifted 2500

Seems like I can get a nice early DRW 3500 6.7L for a little less than my truck is worth. Which means I can nearly pay off the little bit I owe on my truck and move over into another truck debt free.

I rarely use my truck unless I haul something or go some place nice with a date or whatever.


I'm attached to my truck, being 5.9, lifted, no muffler, mud tires, etc. It's pimp, can't lie , and put together right.


I think a longbed would be nice though and 2wd requires less maintenance. Maybe I'm getting old?




What do you guys think? Everything I tow except my small case 450 bulldozer (which I never tow) is within my truck's rating. Still like the DRW look.

Why not install a free spin hub kit and convert the rear to a dually....

Think it would look cool.

Id take it and put an arrowcraft dually kit with a set of the mega cab dually fenders on it....


I think it would look sweet!

Ah I love this truck and yeah it would look good with some 22.50's. But I really don't need a drw, just like the look of them in 2wd.

It seems like the 2wd long bed trucks are worth about 5 grand less than the lifted shortbed trucks from what I'm seeing.... I guess they aren't as popular or were cheaper off the lot new.
