if your going to go to 4x4..i'd do a solid axel swap. the IFS sucks! not sure where u can order a kit tho..might have to google it..im running a lil late for work.

I'm thinking get a 2500 that is wrecked either rollover ir side collision so nothing underneath is damaged

well if its a daily driver that will work good..but if its a mudder IFS sucks in the mud lol

It will be a farm truck. It will also be driven on road

that will work then only thing u need to make sure it has is the front gears and rear gears to be the same or you will destroy your transfercase

will every thing bolt directly up or will i have to wed cut and drill the works.

Hi Texcowboy,

Welcome to the Chevy Forums.

I agree with gotsylez, if you're going to go through the trouble to do the 4WD conversion, you may as well get rid of the IFS and put a solid axle up front, too. IFS is a real dog offroad.

Just because it's a 2500 doesn't mean it doesn't have IFS. Do a thread search in the truck sections, a lot of 4WD and solid axle conversion info is there.

Will do. What would be best buy Dana 40 axle and cut It so it fits or buy one pre fitted
