tcase
trans or adapters to mate with a divorced tcase
cross member for tcase
drive shafts front and rear
mounts for control arms
front axle(most axle assblies come with steering)
steering box
plus wiring
fluids
that's all I got for now
It wont be cheap but if I was going to do it I would get a whole 4wd rolling chassis and swap from there just make sure its a 2500 rolling chassis

custom front suspension. the 2wd is different chassis wise then the 4x4.
if it is an auto you can just put the 4x4 od section on along with the t case, depending on what manual setup it has that can be simplified as well.
the rear d shaft if using oem parts can be used from an oem application obviously.....but the front may have to be custom depending on how you choose to mount it.
i dont know if i would prefer leafs or coils for such an install.
