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

WOW!

some one else is going to be doing this?...cool!
but i see something wrong, you need the i-beam braket for the right side i-beam...i was told there not the same, and the spindles and brakes
 






o-yeah and the tie rods
 






do the ibeams tie into the spindles becasue 4x4 soindles are diff from the 2wd aren't they i am almost postive
 






yes they are
 






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?
