Works great. It is done alot. Livrat is the king of this conversion. There are alot of them on here.

Sport truck magazine did an article showing the steps to convert. http://www.sporttruck.com/techarticl...ion/index.html

If you plan on going low, you can get lower with the 4wd frame converted than with a 2wd frame.

No problem in the front, but I don't think you can use the trailing arm rear if that's what you were planning.

Re: 4WD to 2wD
 

The article shows how to install trailing arms in the rear. You have to fab/install some mounts for the shocks/airbags.

If you want to do it quick, you can use the leaf springs and put the axle on top.

Sorry about that...but for what it's worth, anything's possible with a welder and fab skills. I kinda figured he meant a true "bolt on" swap. The article does make it seem very simple though.

Re: 4WD to 2wD
 

You are right. If you want just bolt on, using the leaf springs and putting the axle on top is the easiest.

Building a truck Without leaf springs.
Takes a good bit of work to cut or drill out all rivets from a 4x4 chassis. You will need to add trailing arms with coil springs or bag it. front cross member from a donor truck with disk brakes. rework exhaust and brake lines. Different trans, and drive shaft relocate shocks. The short answer was (Yes) its been done.
