Converting 4X4 to 2 wheel drive

[aerobuoy]

I have a 93 6 cylinder XLT and may soon need front u joints(2nd time in app 150,000 miles) Does it make more sense to remove front shafts and go 2 wheel drive and how difficult would this be to do. Any help would be appreciated.

remove the front driveshaft <- takes a few minutes.

Why not just leave it all alone and just not use 4x4 until the U-joints are fixed? It doesn't require taking anything out.
