f250 2wd to f350 4wd swap

I have an 89 f350 w/ a Dana 60 and 6in lift. I want to swap it over to a 1996 crew cab f250 that's two wheel drive. Is thier a hole for the trac bar on the 2wd? Do the front spring mounts and steering linkage match up? If that all matches up are ther any other issues besides adding a transfer case, drive shaft, and cutting a hole in floorboard for the shifter? I did the inital SAS on the F350 so if it all matches it shouldn't be much more difficult to do the 2wd to 4wd swap in this year, right? Sorry for all the questions I've seen this answered for F150's but not F250/F350

The 2wd truck has fron coil springs and not leaf springs. The frame has no provisions for the leafs so you will have to fabricate everything.
This is not a simple bolt in task. The front suspensions are very different.
