hey since you converted to 2wd what did you remove from the front end? did u remove the front end differential? i want to remove the front differential from my truck..im thinking if i get some 2wd a arms, coils and spindles then drop the front diff and drive shaft if it will work? then later i can drop the transfer case swap the trans and drive shaft.
heres the 2wd front suspension. only thing i dont see are shocks.

The shocks go up through the middle of the coil spring

The 2wd a-arms won't interchange with the 4x4 ones.
You could remove the front diff, but you have to leave the ends of the axles in the wheel bearing or they will collapse within driving a matter of feet.
I have heard people say you can use the dished 5.3 flexplate with the spacer on the transmission side, but I've never tried it that way.
yea i was just reading some stuff on fsc.com i guess the frame is different. now when i drop the front differential how do i know what exactly to leave? how much of the assembly should i remove. heres apic i found on fsc that kinda shows it.
also when you say "transmission side" im not sure exactly what you mean.

You would have to leave the part that bolts through the wheel bearing.
Labeled "Housing" in this picture, which is just a random CV axle picture i found.
On the spacer, by transmission side, I mean the side nearest the transmission or the aft position. It would go in this order CRANK-----5.3 FLEX PLATE------SPACER -------TQ CONVERTER
