-Oh no I picked a side-
They are different but usable for what you wanna do. Many have done it with no problems :awesomework:
A good way to get a cheap starter rig if you're going to solid axle anyway. The kick up in the front is not the same as the 4wd frames, so steering clearance to the frame might be low if you run high steer and springs with small amounts of lift.

2wd and solid axles have the EXACT same dimensions up front. My truck started out as a 2wd, ther is about half the **** to hack off the frame so in reality is much easier to do.
Oh and no, you don't have to run much lift at all, I'm running 42's on less than 4" of lift including the 3/4" body lift...

excellent. I'm really only looking to run 36's. I want to be able to drive it over snoqualmie pass in the winter and do some wheelin but nothing too hardcore. I have an 84 front axle waiting to go in something. now that I know 2wd will work too I should be able to find something pretty easy.

Yup, just build a hanger and toss some shackle tubes in there and dig up a trans and case, your done.. Oh, and a rear end but thats not a biggy anyway.

Yup, it'll all work just the same. the front of the frame is on the same plane vs the middle of the frame on all of them its just the IFS 4wd frames are flat between the front cab mount and the core support mount so the torsion bars can clear the top of the frame while the 2wd torsion bars go under the frame to the lower A arm.

I SAS'd a '92 2WD using trail-gear 3" springs front and rear. if you're looking to run 36's that is the perfect set up for you.

man I'm glad I found this out. now I have a lot more options. I was looking for a 84-89 4runner but now I'm starting to lean towards getting a truck instead so I can run propane eventually.
any updates on your build 44newman?
