Re: 2wd to 4x4 frame swap

Why not convert your 2x to 4x with the 2x frame. If you want to lift it any way. It will be mutch easyer than a full frame swap. and if you lift it you wont be using the stock 4x springs any way. what you need it a DYoffroad b52 kit, that will be all your mounts. and also one of ther engine cross member kits. then a pair of stock 52" springs. a front axle, preferabley with disk brakes. and a u bolt kit. You can do a shakel flip in the rear or just add blocks. you can keep the 2wd steering box and do a cross over steering , or swap to a 4x box. and then sorce a t case. This is the best rout IMO unless you hve a doner 4x4 that is all ready to go. Other wise even if you find a 4x4 frame and axles, you will need to add your lift, and go through the axles, and then still swap the body, engine, and tranny.
