Default 2wd->4wd

we all know how people say, "dont waste your time and money into doing this just sell it and get a 4wd" but i put way too much money into my truck to do that....

so today me and daniel (roushnitemare) went to go visit leo (ogterror) and we were outside talking and leo told me to get my truck converted into a 4wd...

he knows a place that replaces the whole front suspension and puts a straight front differential like the f250's....he said he might know a place that does it for 1800 or something so i thought its worth it....but i asked him to find me a place or if he knows someone so i can get a quote but whats everyones opinion

please try and not to tell me off hahah keep this rated PG-13

It would be different none the less I like the whole independent front suspension on our trucks but you would have a one of a kind f150

Yea big difference lol I think the conversion if the price is right would be better in the long run because youll have 4 wheel drive when you need it.. a sc would only dig you deeper lol
