Jamie,

The 2wd and 4wd versions should be (just about) interchangeable. The 2wd will be a little tighter, since the engine is 4 inches further aft on your truck.

I THINK the reason they used metal was to help protect it from the fan, which is very close to it. I've heard of people having some exhaust pipe bent to the correct shape and using that with no problems.
