You need lift spindles for the front. Just like lowering the truck would require drop spindles.

Ok I mite be able to add to this. Front hangers from diy work awesome, yes you have to take front engine Cross member out as its all connected with like 12 or so bolts. The back is way different. But has the same contour. I did a order shackle flip in back with custion rear front hangers. Lol] But if you have a go fab guy close he can figure it out . I changed my 2 wheel burb to 4. 1 ton axle under it took 3 days. I have the tcase tranny a ls3 going in shortly

You had a trailing arm suspension for the 2wd and used that frame for the 4wd?

Currently doing exact same thing to mine, but a cummins/5spd/205.....can you message me any measurements for placing the diffs in the proper spot? I can figure it out for sure, but just thought I would get more input from you.

Sorry for highjacking.....

Yes 2 wheel drive frame that is now 4 wheel drive, I did add 2 cross member and some plates on the frame , and filled in some holes where brake cables ran threw. Precision fab work guided my and I trust what he says will work and not.he also won't let me miss any of the process. If I try an skip or do something to make easier on my he makes me redo it. No cutting corners on his watch. It's going good so far motor tranny tcase all is and looking as good as powder will let it look,

What ya think so far.
