Re: axle swap

well you do know that you will need all new front suspension so that will include steering and all kinds of stuff. i cant remember if it uses leaf springs or not i think it does though. i bet it would be tough to get those in place of your coil spring and control arms. also, i think the transfer cases usually are pretty expensive and you'll probably have to get a shorter driveshaft to compensate for the few inches of extra the transfer case would add.

basically, for your money, it would probably be cheaper to just buy a good truck with 4x4 than to convert your 2x4. unless that is if you happen to have just gotten a ten thousand dollar paint job on your current truck and you have a lot of performance mods that would be a pain to remove and transfer to a different truck
