Converting to 4x4 with AX4 (1987)

Quick and possibly silly question.

What is the difference between the 4x4 and 2x4 AX4 tranny? Can't you just remove the tail cone off the 2x4 AX4 and mount a 231J to it?

NO

ALSO...

Is there a difference in output shafts on the 2.5's?

If I do have to get another tranny, I would just go to the AX5, but would rather go 23 spline on the tranny and t-case.

Is there any problem using the 23 spline parts behind the 2.5?

Spline count is of no consequence as long as the tcase and tranny match up.
