    Has anyone done a 4wd conversion on a 2003 F150 supercrew? I was thinking about doing dana 60s and the t case with manual shift. Reason I wanted to do dana 60s is becuase later on I might to a diesel conversion. I know it's always cheaper to go buy what I want but, I like the idea of standing out in a crowd. Parts list (dana 60 front & rear differential, front drive shaft, t case) should the rear be posi traced?

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    I'm on the fence of converting to 4wd or just trading up as well. I want a diesel too, but I know I dont want to do a diesel AND 4wd swap. my biggest issue is runnin all the vac lines since my truck is already wired for 4wd-on-the-fly

    SAS, you will never regret it. Don't let the money turn you away from it.
