axle swap?
My F-250 is a 2WD and, Im in ND, and wont be able to go to Japan. So I may just keep the truck, cause I really love it. But I want 4x4, I know I dont need it, but I like it. I love to go mudding!
So, has anyone on here done a swap? What all do I need? Would I have to swap transmissions too, or would a transfer case bolt right up?

its not too bad of one if you can get all the parts for a good price. its usually better to find a 4x4 truck you want and sell the 2x. the tranny works. just the tailcone and output shaft have to be changed for the tcase to bolt up.
need tcase, driveshafts, axle, tcase mount, tranny parts, and theres a bunch of little crap too
