Arrow 2WD to 4WD Conversion

Since I bought my truck I've been regretting not getting one with 4wd. I go out to the dunes a lot to go riding and it's really easy to get stuck out there. Not to mention it would be nice to have 4wd for all of the times I can't think of. It seems to me that there are quite a few people these days converting from 4wd to 2wd, how difficult is it to take everything they removed and put it on my truck? Basically what I'm wondering is if it's a bolt-on set-up, or if there are certain frame modifications and what not that must be done also. I highly doubt that it's as easy as bolting up all of the 4wd components. Thanks guys!
