Radius arm differences 2wd vs 4wd

Are 2wd radius arms interchangeable with 4wd radius arms? I need a replacement and all I can find online or at local parts stores are 2wd arms.

I'm not sure but I think there is a slight difference in the thickness of the beam. So the space between the 2 brackets that the bolt goes thru is slightly narrower on the 2wd. This is going by memory from over 10 years ago so very well could be mistaken.

Nope. 4wd beams are thicker than 2wd. I have radius arms originally intended for a 4x4 on my 2wd, and I had to have plating welded to the ears to make up the difference

Thanks for the replies. I'll make a trip to pick n pull.

Is there any cross compatibility between radius arms from rangers, Broncos or f series trucks?

I have a set of stock ‘93 4x4 radius arms that are in pretty good shape, if you are interested.
