laying out a 4x4 blazer

can anyone help me in laying out a 4x4 blazer 91...... what needed and how hard is it... iv only delt with two wheele drives

sell it and buy a 2wheel drive - easiest - why do you want to do this to a 4x4 and if you are asking should you really be tackling this?  you have to remove the front axle, the transfercase, change crossmembers, put on a front suspension with control arms, then will end up Z'ing the frame..  its a really drawn out process that if you are asking how to do it, probably should not tackle this...

cant i get a 2wd frame and put the body and motor on it
