I currently have a 2003 ram 1500 4x4 4.7l v8 with 114k miles on it. I was wondering if I could swap everything over, engine, trans and cab to a 2500 frame and keep the 4x4 and keep everything the same inside the truck computer and wiring wise. I know where I can get a cheap 2500 roller frame. I'd use the 1500 title but is there any problems I'd run into? Would 4x4 work?

2500 had a solid front axle. The 4x4 is different, other than that, you should be good, everything should be interchangeable.

Maybe if it was a hemi but that 4.7 is gonna struggle even more with the weight of a 2500 suspension, frame and axles.
