That is a start. You will need a whole lot more than just that before you are done. I am not here to discourage you, but do you know what you are getting into? There is a lot involved. You will need a 4wd tranny and tcase, probably exhaust mods, driveshafts, and other little stuff. I am pretty sure the radius arms and coils work, though.

You can do your truck in stages. I got the front end in, and got it working, then I eventually did the transfer case. This way it is driveable for longer, but isn't actually 4wd

80-96 f150 is the easiest 4x2 to 4x4 conversion there is.

everything bolts in.
You need the axle, 4x4 transmission T-case, the T-case shift linkage, front and rear driveshafts
