Re: 1/2 ton 4x4 vs 2wd rear-end
If the rear end your using in the 2wd is still good you could just change your Eaton diff, gears, maybe bearings instead of having to pull the axles from the truck unless I read wrong

Besides, you have to pull the axles to install gears, so you are not saving a thing.
