How hard would this be- truck awd
So I have a ecsb 99 Sierra- I bought a 2001 Denali XL yesterday for cheap.
I have traction issues in the 99 and I think I **** the trans out today. So I'm thinking crazy - I have a lq9 in my shop put a 80e behind it and convert my truck to awd- using the Denali parts
Bad idea? Why is that? Awd Sierra

2X4 and 4x4 frames are complete different up front.
2x4 uses a coil spring in a bucket with stamped lower arm and rack and pinion.
4x4 Uses torsion bars so it doesn't need that space for the coil. It also uses a cast steel lower arm and a steering box with drag link set up.

I think he had to move 1 or 2 mounts. I don't remember. Here is his build thread.
