Cool so there wont be any issue with using the 4x4 front end?

No, just make sure the right axle is locked in and can't come out. Functionally they will be the same then.
Nice, one last thing. Will both front tires be locked and rolling at always the same time?

No, the front is an open diff. Each wheel can spin independently. The axle shaft locking together doesn't lock the diff.
It is just like a rear diff with no kind of locker at all.
Sweet, thanks brah!

I'm too much into off roading.. I couldn't handle an AWD truck.. 4x4 is the way for me, with my driving style and conditions.. Great info though, I never would have thought about doing something like this. You make it sound simple and staight forward. Great thread!

if you do, you will probably die in front of that construction site.
So how do I ensure that the axle will stay locked? Do I just put it in 4WD using my regular T-Case, then remove the 4WD t-case and install the AWD T-case? Kind of confused here.

I was never sure that it would work. No one that I know of has tried it this way.
