I am not sure why you would even want to do this...

Agreed, so you could cruise during a blizzard?

Well, never seen a lowered 4wd shortbed but would be an interesting project!

Re: Rims on 4x4 SWB?
This is my truck that i just set a rim on to see how it looked, I like the look at stock height. Is the oil pan the only thing in the way of an inch or two drop? out of curiosity

Re: Rims on 4x4 SWB?
You are limited up front by the axle under the engine. I would leave it be, at least the frame-down (has a certain value), and build off of an IFS truck frame. You want more like an X3 type of 4wd. I've seen some pretty hot 4wd Tahoes huggin' the road.
