As an afterthought, I'll just mention a couple of things to consider (in case you get the bug). First, you'll have to figure out how to ACCURATELY mount the front axle. You may have to locate a specific flexible brake line to mate up to the axle and the fitting on the truck. Then, there's springs and shocks. Next, you'll need to mount a transfer case onto your transmission. You'll have to locate and buy the transfer case, mounting bracket and probably both drive shafts. Hopefully, you won't have to modify the engine mounts (although I did). finally, consider all hoses, wiring, mounts for EVERYTHING, exhaust system, etc, because most things that fit perfectly with the 2wd system in place will probably interfere with everything your'e trying to build. It is a HUGE time and money pit!!! Move your truck on its merry way and buy a good 4 x 4... you'll be WAY ahead of the game! Regards, DL
