SAS is quite a bit more in depth, but there are several kits out there that are almost entirely "bolt-on" don't have any of the links on this computer. its a bit pricey as well.

ok just realized i made a mistake by getting a 2wd. Before that though. i got my tires put on today 35 15.50 15 super swampers on 15 by 8 wheels. and they fit with just a body lift. they rub on the side step rails but those are coming off anyway. Now i just took it round the block and pulled in the driveway and spun and spun the whole whole way up and got stuck in the yard. 
one wheel spins and the truck slides lol. So my new question is. Is it worth going with selling this one and getting a 4wd drive for about 4000 more than i paid for this one or convert it to SAS for 400 aside from axles and etc.

2wd + wide heavy tires + snow = not so good...
You probably could sell it for what you bought it for, but you'll probably be out the cost of the BL.
Search for the SAS kits, if you can source a local junkyard for your parts cheap, I'd go that route. Being a 2wd, you're going to need the transfer case and supports, and custom driveshafts for front and rear, as well as the front axle and springs and hanger kit.
Yes, you could sell it and buy an IFS 4WD, but the SAS would be BADASS! So very few out there, and you're not limited to doing 1/2 ton gear - you could step up to 1-ton axles and springs, or even to Rockwells....

Not worth doing to your truck really. Way easier to start with a 4x4. And when I say easy I mean easier than converting a 2wd to 4wd. SAS can be pricey to do right.

buy a second one. haha
not to sound more discouraging, but don't try to convert it unless you have a ton of time and money to throw at it. you can pick up a 4x4 for less than $4000 if you look hard enough for a decent one.
