You'll have to change the tail shafts between the two trans and it should work.

um first make sure the tailshaft on the 2wd trans isnt longer than ur 4wd one. all the fullsize trucks have different tailshaft lengths between 2wd and 4wd. if its all the same then just take out the four bolts holding the tailshaft and switch them.
