You will need the transmission, transfer case, and almost the entire front end assembly to swap to 4wd.  Unless you want to do a solid axle setup, then there are a couple ways of doing it.

What are your plans for the vehicle?

There is a bracket for the front diff that you'll need to weld on. It's fairly straight forward. I just finished doing the change but without a donor vehicle it could get expensive. You need the whole  front diff, (to the hubs), transfer case, both drive lines, the rear transmission support and the 2 wheel drives have shorter springs than the 4 ,(but I don't know if you MUST change the springs or not).

I would say not, the Fatboy models over here were all 4wd but had lowering springs fitted.
