Hey I know this is kinda dumb but what would I have to buy to turn my 95 f-150 from a 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive. The engine is a straight 6.
Thanks

It would be much easier to just buy a 4x4. Otherwise, you would need to get a complete front end, springs and spring hangers then measure and drill all the mounting holes etc.

Nope...

The 4wd suspension will swap right inplace of the 2wd's...just as easily as removing the 2wd and putting the 2wd back. There is a tech article in that section (link on the right) that gives the basics....it's a topic that has definitely been talked about before, so please try our search.

front end, transfer case, drive shafts(front and rear because the rear will be shorter now), 4wd transmission or output shaft from a 4wd trans to swap onto your trans. TC skid plate. There might be a few more things.
