Driveshaft the same 4x4 vs 4x2?
Are the driveshafts the same between a 4x4 and a 4x2 assuming the same engine, transmission, and rear axle combination? More specifically, can I take the driveshaft out of my 4x2 Supercrew with a 9.75" rear axle and bolt it into a 4x4 Supercrew with a 9.75" rear axle and vice versa?

No, not the same. The 4X4 has a transfer case which means the driveshaft will be shorter.
