The entire engine crossmember needs to be removed and swapped with one from a 4x4 truck before you can bolt any 4x4 components underneath the truck.

Actually you very specifically want a crossmember off of an '89-up.

The difference is the location of the holes for mounting the clips that
the fuel lines run through.
