Just trade the truck for a 4wd its going to be cheaper.Besides you won't have very good resale value on a converted truck.

Unless you are planning on putting a straight axle up front, it will be a really bad idea to do. Trying to put the IFS 4wd in there will be very hard since the frames are different.

If your trying to make it be like a stock truck, just trade it in

Back half it and forget about the 4wd stuff.

The last time I checked to see what a back half with 4link and coilovers cost it was going to be about $6000. That included brakes and everything involved with the swap. That was for my S10 though. I didn't have the money at the time so that never happened.

Why? Are they that strict up there? It's not like you'd couldn't still have all the emissions equipment.

Nobody does truck stuff up hear limited market place
As it is mods cost me way more than the average american cuz the Canuck buck sucks 100 usd is equal to 140.00 canadian funds +shipping and taxes
At least I'm like the only truck around that's modded up
