As been stated it's quite easy to go from 2x4 to 4x4. I've been collecting my needed parts list and plan on finishing this up. My '08 Sahara 2x4 was the only one in my price range being a JKU. I love it. I off road quite often, just put a Tera-Flex 2.5" last night.
A person would never know it's 2x4 unless you told them.

I have not yet flashed the computer but I believe the only difference is my 4wd light doesnt illuminate and I have to manually disable my traction control etc.. Once you get under the jeep, you will be amazed how easy it is.. Im really surprised more people do not do this when the initial plan is go big anyways...hope this helps give you the confidence to do the swap
