Would this two to four wheel be an issue, or not?

I was looking at the thread of converting a 2 wheel to four wheel drive on a burb with coil springs in the rear and it got me to thinking about this again.

I don't have any more 4x4 trucks but have had occasions that I wish I had 4 wheel drive.

First swapping frames is 100% out of the question. Ill never have another truck where the frame, vin, glove box ... and everything doesn't match.

There are several places that sell conversion "kits" that pretty easily convert the front on a C version to a K version. They even have "kits" for again pretty easily converting a rear C to a K as long as you already have rear leafs.

What would be wrong with having new coils spun up to give a lift in the rear that would match the front that you have converted? Maybe front and rear sway bars would help if the having coils in the rear are a lateral problem?

Im not talking using 4 wheel drive in heavy off road conditions. More like what todays SUVs do. Good in snow, some mud, boat ramps, off road to the extent of roads in the hills that arent paved sort of thing.

I already have a matching set of half ton axels. I have all the correct 4x4 cross members, a 350/350/NP205 set, and I have a 4x4 700R4 if I wanted to go that route.

I feel like this is doable ... tell me what Im missing.
