As I look at that Icon lift kit. It states its for AWD. My vehicle is RWD, no? I'm not seeing many options for 2inch lift kits for a RWD 1500 classic, just leveling kits.

Any work that changes the geometry of your suspension will impact ride and handling. Additionally, wider tires will most certainly lead to premature wearing of many different parts: more stress from turning due to more rubber contact on road for example. Also can impact ABS system if using oversized tires, and transmission and gearing can be stressed. You will want to consider changing gears. Mileage will also suffer.

The forum is filled with stories of problems after lifts, I suggest searching for the topic and learn from the issues others have had.

i wpuld actually be very happy not to lift my truck and be able to get these on. What's your opinion on these wheels with my stock suspension.

To my understanding, 21 Warlocks already come about 1" lifted further than most base models.
