I am grabbing some parts off of a synchro. If I wanted to run syncro suspension on my 2wd what parts would need to be switched over?

If you are converting your van from 2wd to Syncro specs, you will need...everything!
If you are simply wanting to run Syncro suspension components under a 2wd, you will need...everything!
Converting to full Syncro specs would include the entire front suspension (upper and lower control arms, knuckles, springs, shocks, everything) as well as the front differential and complete front crossmember. You will also need the driveline, gearbox and fuel tank and anything related to the locker if it has one.
If you just want the Syncro suspension under a 2wd, you will need the entire front suspension (again, upper and lower control arms, knuckles, springs, shocks, everything) and complete front crossmember. I'm not sure if the 2wd fuel tank will fit with the Syncro crossmember, even with the front differential out of the picture, so you might need the Syncro fuel tank as well. You will have to install the outer stub axles from the front half shafts to keep the preload on the front wheel bearings. Otherwise the bearings will destroy themselves fairly quickly.
The rear suspension is the same for a 2wd and a 14" Syncro with the exception of the springs.

ok so I will just try to pull Its all there except for the front diff and trans. So I may just pull the gas tank to be safe. Basicly Im going to swap it over a little at a time.
