4x4 frame vs 4x2 frame.. difference?

ok, i know there IS a difference between a 4x4 frame and a 4x2 frame, but im not sure what exactly it is... is it the way its shaped? possibly narrower/wider, higher/lower? or is it just the crossmember?

im thinking all that it could be is the crossmember, but i havent looked under a 4 wheel drive version... does anyone have pictures for comparison? or possible draw it up?

thanks!

i thnk your right on the crossmember idea. given that you can get either engine/powertrain in 2 or 4x i'd vote that their the same except for a spot to put the transfer case, maybe a bit more in the front end...but i'm not a tech.

It's hard to see, but there is just an extra cross member at the front of the 4x4 frame. HTH

Those frames look very similiar to me. With the exception of the front crossmember. Also something looks different just behind that front crossmember.
