2.Could I get any money for my 4wd parts? if so any ideas how much?
This is my last post fro today, thanks for your patience.

with the total chaos kit and similar kits, i know that they recommend smaller tire sizes, 31 or 33's which allow for the added travel to occur. if you have the room above and around the tires, ie: cut out fenders or fiberglass, added lift with either suspension or body, would you be able to get the same amount of travel with 35's? and would the kit be strong enough for tires that large?

I have chosen to go a different route. Cruiser coils, custom diff drop, custom bj spacers, custom panhard stuff, marlin brake lines, ome shocks all around and hopefully 33s or 35s or somewhere in between :-D

If you want to convert to 2wd, simply rake out the diff and drive shaft and axles and cur some soup cans as caps for your spindles. That's it!
EWAY the kits are strong enough for 35's but your axles/cvs might not be. I'd stick with 33's.
You can go almost as fast as a 2wd prerunner if you're setup right. my front end is running torsions and my rear is far from setup, watch how this stuff works. I say keep the 4wd
