The 2wd and 4wd have different suspenion systems, and TONS of parts that a 2wd doesn't have, such as a transfer case and a front axle.

If you just want to leave off the front driveshaft and drive it as a 2 wheel drive, no problem. You can drive it forever like that.

No...I'm pretty sure that he has a 2wd, and is going to lift it, and he thinks he can easily make it a 4x4.

hey casey 1 thanks for the info. it is a 4x4 so i can get the long travel lift kit for the truck and just not attach the driveshaft. but do you know if the 2wd kit will bolt onto the 4x4 model?
