Its a big undertaking to convert a 2wd but its possible, my truck was a 2wd converted to 4X4 with straight rear axle. Once I started really looking at how it was accomplished I immediately began looking for an original 4x4 frame. The build was much cleaner because of it. The 4x4 frame is thicker and the geometry at the rear axle is set up for a solid axle and leaf springs rather then trailing arms and coils.

My build is on the 4x4 tech forum.
