Question transmission parts

I'm making my truck 4x4 and want to make sure that I'm ordering the right parts to make my 2wd tranny to 4x4 . I know I got to change out the main shaft. And tail housing.do I have to change out anything else?

Please fill in your signature with your truck information...makes it much easier for us to give you accurate advice if we can see what you have.

Well you will need to swap out the front cross member with a 4x4 piece...and then all the spring brackets etc. You will need a 4x4 cross member for the tranny, and either a 23 or 29 spline transfer case...depending if you you have an auto, or manual tranny. Drive shafts will have to be made...or found for you application.

Not a quick or easy job. I'm in the process of doing this to my crewcab.

Hey td3620. Go to your User Control Panel (under the User Cp in the above menu) and under "Settings and Options" you'll see a link for "Edit Signature". Click on that and just fill in your truck info and click save. I just joined so I'm still learning all this stuff too.
