is there a difference between a 4x4 and 4x2 ranger cross members?

im planing on getting a 4cyl ranger 97 and older model truck. i was wondering if the cross members are the same because i have a Dana 35 ttb out of my old ranger. it would be cool to have a 4cyl 4x4 ranger. if there not the same i have the cross member for 4x4 ranger

k thanks. is there differnece in frame desgin form 91 throw 97?

I don't think so, at least in that area. I could be wrong.

FYI, swapping that engine crossmember is a very very entailed job. Honestly I think putting a Jeep D30 or a Bronco D44 is easier, and a lot less work, though the expense is much greater.
