Why wouldn't they work?

There is hardly enough room for a 2.5" leveling kit in a 4wd. On a 2wd there is even less room, you can add a leveling kit to the existing strut, or you can get a 4wd strut, but you cannot have both. It just won't fit.

If this were the case you would then not be able to have a leveling kit on a 4WD. 2WD's and 4WD's share the same front end suspension parts except for the struts. Coils are the same, as are the upper and lower control arms. This info was covered in this thread in pretty good detail
