alright in theory to lower my 4x4 92 x is impossible so from people i have talked to if i bought a ibeam the droped ones would i be able to take out the pumpkin and replacew with a ibeam? and the axle would stay until i take out my brakes? and replace them with 2wd and left my 4wd tranny in would that work?

yes all you have to do is remove your front drive shaft there is 2 brackets that hold up both I-beams drop out the beams and put in a 2 wheel drive they bolt in the same holes you will still be able to keep your transfer case but you can get an out put yoke off a 2 wheel and still the drive shaft

i can't put 2wd spindles on a 4x4 unless i change my brakes and calipers right so bassically i would have to put new ibeams in spindles brakes and if i wanted to go all the way to tranny ?

righttt?

can i get away with just puttin spindles in and tearing out the DIFF?
