Gentlemen, Does anyone know what exactly is different in the suspension between 4x4 and 4x2? Knuckles? Longer shocks? Taller/stronger springs? And correct me if I'm wrong but the 4x4 rear just has a block that adds the rake. So I'm wondering what makes it taller in the front compared to a 4x2. Thanks for any input!

The front struts are longer and the rear block is to compensate for the added front height.

so the with the struts being longer there aren't also any differences in the UCAs or LCAs? The angles are just greater on the 4x4?
