A little clarification

Ok, here is my delima. I have been trying to figure this out and have come to a dead end. the S-10's 4wd front suspension differs from the 2wd in the face of the spindels right? (the control arms, coils and shocks are the same?) so to swap out teh front differential, axles, spindels and transfer case it would essentially be 2wd? it makes sence in my head, but i might be way off. just wondering if anyone was 100% sure on this, thank you for any help.

no the front frame section is overall 2 inches wider. it uses torsion bars with completely different c-arms. it is possible to bag one using t-bar mounts like on a nissan though!

thats right i forgot about torsion bars. thanks for the help, may reconsider the AWD now.
