4x4s10 into a 2wd hydraulic lowrider, i need advice

i have an 83 4x4 s10 and want to turn it into a 2wd lowrider with ether three or four pumps so i can three wheel standing still.
i plan on removing the front dif and transfer case and get a new drive line and four link in the back
but the problem im having is the front suspension
i found how to put a coil in between the control arms and replacing the spindles to 2wd but the ball joints dont make
so how can i get 2wd control arms on my 4x4 without replacing the whole front end of my frame
and advice on rear suspension would be great
i want to make a dancer/hopper.

please dont just say "buy a 2wd truck" cause ive already thought about that.
thank you

It'll be alot more work to put 2wd suspension on your 4wd frame then it would be just to do a frame swap or cut your front clip off and graft on a 2wd. Frame swap would be the easiest though. Plus that way you could build the entire suspension and detail it all nice before you put the body on.
