Alot, front suspension is completely different. Not to mention transfer case, front diff, trans tailshaft, crossmembers, wiring if going with electric t/c. Would be cheaper to buy a 4wd.

If you REALLY like your AV.
Some do a SAS. Solid Axle Swap.
Use a solid axle differential of an older truck,use leaf springs.
Theirs a couple of company's that would have something like that.
Offroadunlimited might have something ?
But still,a LOT of work....................
