Ok heres the deal. I have a 99 2wd Dak, right now im running 31's on it and i want to lift my truck up alot more. Im tired of trying to find a lift for the 2wd 99 thats more then just 3 inches so i had an idea but im not sure if it will work thats why im posting it here. I was thinking of going over to a junk yard and ripping off the spindle springs shocks and stearing linkage off a 4x4 modle and slaping it on my 2wd and just not put any of the drive shaft components into it, and for the rear just making it a spring over instead of a spring under. does anyone know if this is even posible? im just looking for something until i slap in a straight axle and making it a 4x4

A-arms are different and won't bolt to frame
4x4 spindles are just hollow hubs, the spindle part comes from the CV axle. so a big no on that one. And of course the 4x4's have torsion bars instead of coils, so NO once again.

You can either go super cheap and get 2" coil spacers and longer shocks or pay $750 and get the 3" fabtech
