Is it a conversion kit, or did the guy put a 2WD body on a 4WD frame?

I'm with Smokin. I suspect it was only a cab swap. If so, the lift will be a snap. Normal procedure.

A conversion can be done, but it is a real pain in the neck, so it's highly unlikely that is the case with your truck. I have done 2, and both of them were on crewcabs, simply because they were hard to find in the area in 4wd. You can find a 4wd half-ton, oh, anywhere... LOL

I just talked to a budy of mine and he was telling me that a kid down the road from him converted a two wheel drive frame to fourwheel drive and can't understand why the back end sits lower. The shackles for the rear springs are shorter on a two wheel drive.
