2005 f-150 4wd to 2wd

I've seen a bunch of threads about trying to make a 2wd a 4wd, and that seems HARD and labor intensive... my question is this:

How hard would it be to convert a 4WD to a 2WD? I bought my truck new in '05 and have NEVER put it in 4wd. 75,000 miles later, I've decided to some custom work to it. It's already lowered (springs controls Arms in front, axel flip/c notch in rear) But I was thinking about an air bag setup in the near future. I love my truck, so selling is not an option, if its impossible, then I'll just leave it how it is now.

Now, anyone who has a good, fairly detailed answer would be greatly apppreciated, thanks!

It would be very easy. Just remove the t-case, front diff and cv shafts, both driveshafts, front hubs, wiring and switches, and send it all to me.

Wouldnt I have to get a 2wd rear driveshaft?
Is it seriously that easy?! If so... I'm pullin it! and I would be willing to sell all that stuff, just dunno how much it's worth.

I'm just excited it will be pretty straight forward. I was scared after reading about 2wd to 4wd conversions!

you will need a 2wd trans, driveshaft, the front spindles, and bearings at minimum.

I heard that there some kinda crossmember structural housing in there that can't be removed? Fact or fiction?
