So how hard is it really? 4X4 conversion.

The thing with the 1/2 ton ttb is it uses the same pivot bracket location as a 2wd, so the beams are a direct bolt in.
The 3/4 ton ttb knuckles don't interchange with the half ton stuff so it isn't that straightforward. One could modify the inner C to suit or marry together a half ton and 3/4 ton beam. Modifying the beams is much more common than it used to be, and unlike a solid axle the material is easy to work with.

Hold on a sec... the 4wd ttb has different pivot brackets than the 2wd? Thats pretty lame, you would think they would be the same... Also possibly a deal-breaker in my situation... i have 2 250 ttbs, and no 150 ttbs. Real question is are the brackets what is different, or the holes in the crossmember?

F150 TTB and TIB mounting
Leaf sprung TTB, a 50 in this pic, 44hd is the same:
As you can see, different brackets and locations. I have never actually looked at a 2wd frame to see if the 4wd holes were there.
