4x4 crossmember?

Anyone know if that 4x4 crossmember is bolt in on a 2wd frame? Wondering if I should put one of those in my conversion from 2wd to 4wd.....(probably doesnt matter but looks alittle more beefier)

The cross member is different on a 4x4 so the front differential will not hit it. I think, but am not sure, you will have to move and or replace the front cross member.
here is a picture I have of mine

sorry didnt specify, the transmission crossmember. The 2wd engine crossmember will stay I will have a 12 1/2" lift in front, plenty to clear the 2wd engine crossmember

The 4x4 crossmember will bolt in, but it'll be at the wrong angle. 4x4's use an additional plate riveted inside the frame rails for the crossmember to sit on.
