YES it comes in 2wd gmc or chevy trucks it is a heavy duty option. gm felt that the steering box is stonger than the rack and pinion so they come up with heavy duty frame the option code on the SPID in the glove box IS B2E SPRING SPECIAL. the front frame has torsion bars and a sterring gear box versus the lighter duty coil springs and weaker rack and pinion on conventional trucks. it was only a option on x cab and crew cab pick ups.
