It has been done, and it has been discussed many times. Most of the time, it simply isn't worth it. By the time you add up the money/time invested, you are better off selling your 2wd and buying a 4wd.
Unless you can find a 4wd wrecked, and VERY cheap........or you live near someone who wants to convert to 2wd (or do an SAS), I wouldn't do it.
You could hunt in wholesale car auctions and find a beater Ex. My auto body dude picked up a '91 4x4 with Warn hubs already for like $300 not long ago. I would assume that everything would bolt up, but as said before, it's time and effort.
yah.. keep your 2wd cause u will need a tow rig and get a cheap 4x4 like a ranger or a cherokee. i got mine for $700 and there are a lot of cherokees already lifted and ready to go for $3500 or less.
