Positive. All the part numbers up front are teh same. The only difference between teh 4x4 kit and the 2wd kit, is the way you lift the rear end. Because the 4x4s have 3" wide leaf springs, and the 2wds have 2.5" wide leaf springs.

well, you can use the same transmission, it just needs to have a t-cone adapter. Rear driveshaft is the same, and front i can grab from a junker.
Transfer case i do not know where i can get a quality one..
I'd like to keep my tranny as it only has 68000 miles on it
