Is it possible to convert a 2002 5.4L 4x2 to 4x4?

 

yeah, it seems very possible....but why not just by a 4x4? unless your into just building i understand that too.

 

yeah its simple if u got the cash.

 

I heard that going from a stock 4x2 to a stock 4x4 is not possible cause the frames are different. Is that true? I heard if you have a 4x2 and want a 4x4 it is easiest to do a sas. If you want to use the stock 4x4 parts i heard it is cheaper to sell the 4x2 and buy a 4x4.

 

your right sell the 2x4 and get a 4x4!!cheaper more reliable! but i have always wanted to put dana 60s front and rear in a 97-03 f150

 

Yes the Frames are different but with a 4x2 you can do the soild axle setup which i would rather that over this torsion bar bullsh*t

 

Yeah i agree. I would rather have a solid axle set up too.

 

if you really want to have the torsion bars and front setup of a stock 4x4 go to a junk yard and take the frame and tanspant everything but if you a good welder and your assure or your self cut the frame in the middle and take it and weld it back in and but 1/2" plate on each side to add some strength but i would sy soild axle is a lot easier and if you want soild you'll need raduis arm brackets welded at the right spot and get a dana 44 high pinion front axle and 4r70w trans and tranfercase and new driveshafts and i would recommoned manual shift 4x4. and for cletusjermal if you really wanted solid axle i would say weld in front leaf spring brackets and get a soild leaf axle 80's 250's and put it in and set up your steering. hope this helps you both

 

thank you everyone, everything has been very helpful, i think im just going to wait to find a 4x4 at the right price
