Interchangeable brackets?

That is a great question.
The only thing I can think of is that a 2wd setup is shorter already then a 4wd, so the geometry may be iffy when using a 4wd kit on a 2wd. Like if 4wd coils are already 2" longer, a 4" kit for a 4wd may be 6" on a 2wd, so the pivot brackets need to be 2" lower. So you'd actually need 6" drop brackets and 4" coils, and a 6" pitman arm.
And some 2wd have different sway bar mounting.
I don't know. It's just a theory.

So to further the speculation, the 2wd 150s and 250s should have the same bracketry more so than comparing 2wd to 4wd, right?!

Now you're mixing and matching lots of parts....
We both assumed you had an f150.
A 4wd lift for a 250 has leafs, not coils. So you're hoping that coils, brackets, and pivot drops will all work.
You're going to have to go measure a real truck to figure this out.
But now you're looking at parts and pieces from a few different kits.
