Default Differences between 2WD and 4x4 Engine mounts

what are the main differences and can I use the 4x4 in 2WD and vice-versa?

What do you mean with "uprated" (I'm Portuguese)

If you refer to original 2wd mounts, yes I can.

ahh

from ford I think not, but I've seen them somewhere. I also asked about differences from the 4x4 because I read somewhere also that some ppl used them on 2wd's because they were stronger.
