There are a couple of advantages in going for a 4x2. Apart from being a nicer cruise machine the engine/gearbox swap is made simpler because you don't have any concerns over front differential clearance. Also you are not restricted to having to fit the units in the distance between the radiator and transfer case, perhaps necessitating moving the transfer case back. This could become an issue particularly if you want to use an auto transmission as they tend to be fairly lengthy.
