As long as you have all the suspension parts... shouldnt be hard. My buddy had a crew cab and switched to 1/2 ton suspension to run 5 lug wheels.

I do believe the frames are quite different from 2wd to 4wd in those years. I have built spindles to just what you are asking. If you (me) just built a set of custom dropped spindles to bolt on to the 4wd suspension, it would make your life fairly easy.

the frames are very differnt it would take a bit of fabrication to change over also your 89 is it a reg cab if it is you have to cut the frame down move the rear suspension forward to fit the box
