I have a 96 F150, ext cab, longbed, AODE-W,302,2wd and i love this truck. The truck has a 2 piece drive shaft and I wanted to know if it as possible 2 convert it into a 4x4.If so,how and would it be difficult and expensive, or is it better if i just left it a 2wd.

Lots of work, but it is a direct bolt in, if you do you would be better to find a 1980-1996 donor truck, they are basically the same, the shaft would probably be too long for the 4x4. You would also want to find a manual 4x4 not a push button.

So if i do get the donor truck, will i have to replace the transmission or will the one i have work ok.

Not to get off topic but what rims are those?

You will need the trans, the 4x2 and 4x4 tail shafts are different.

i would think the tranny would be fine but will need to add a transfer case, thats why the rear shaft is shorter

the rims are 17's and tires are goodyear wrangler, front are LT245/75r,back are LT265/70r.

i would say just leave it i have a 4x2 just like that and i have had no problems like offroading or mudding just stay away from soft sand other than that that truck will do you justice everyone is surprised that my 2wd does just as good as there 4wds
