What exactly is the difference in the front susp. between the 2wd and 4wd that makes the 4wd 2" higher?

kingofwood

the front struts and spindles are 2" longer

So if i went to a junkyard and go 2 of each, could i put them on on my 2wd?

i believe the four wheel drive spindles are different and would not work but im not 100% on that

i'd think theyd be the same just different, but you know they do some dumb stuff so who knows.

check with SickF1fifty he was trying to do this to his truck.....

FSU FX4

I messaged him, but idk if itll be the same since he has a lift.

ford4wd08

it will basicly be the same....

FSU FX4

doesnt certain kits come with bigger spindles?

yea the knuckles are what give you the lift. of course combined with the bigger shocks or spacer... but the 4wd strut will basicly be the same as a leveling kit on the 2wd. it would be silly to buy a 4wd spindle, because unlike a 2wd it will have a place for the cv to connect to the front axle which you wont have with a 2wd. if you want the lift you might as well but one or just stick with a level. i think the spindles would work off a 4wd, but the strut should bolt in.
