Default 2004 silverado 2wd to awd?

What's all needed to do this my truck is a coil over truck. Can it be done? And is it possible to put escalade interior into the truck (seats, center console)

The frame is different. You should be able to get away with the frame ahead of the firewall, and you will still have to run the torsion bars unless you go with the coil over brackets that Atomic makes. I am debating doing this, but to be honest unless the truck has specific meaning to you, it would be better off to just get a 4WD version and change small things.

Well I NEVER use 4wd lol. And around here these trucks are a pain to make. I could do any of the fab work needed just kinda wondering what it would take

As far as the interior goes yes most of it will work. Custom fit on somethings.

Well, slicks and either Cal-Tracs or clamped leaf springs. Jeff from Mayhem Motorsports in Raleigh cut 1.50 60' slammed with no traction devices.
