Hey guys, I'm new here but I wanted to know what would it take to change my 1999 dodge ram 1500 sport 2wd, to an 4x4. What would I need to swap it to an 4x4

You'll need:

1) Time
2) Skill
3) Money
4) Donor Truck

It's not impossible, a member here did a 2wd to 4wd conversion, there is a thread around here somewhere with the pictures and details.

Found the thread:

I considered doing this swap to my old 2wd ram. It's not worth it man.

I'm not sure how well the 4wd system works on the 3rd Gens, but I'm not sure I would buy a 4wd 2nd Gen, CAD system sucks, transfercases suck......
