4x4 ext cab long bed 12.0?

I aquired a 96 ext cab long bed 4x4 truck... I want to build a daily, weekend strip truck that not only I can enjoy but my wife and son. My intention was to build a 2wd standard cab in my SIG which I've almost completed but it might sound dumb but its more fun for the family to enjoy it with me.. I'm not to familiar with 2nd gens... I've had 1st gens my whole life... is my goal out of the question? Any opinions are appreciated. I don't even though how much the truck weights. I'm the type of guy that would rather have a lighter truck with a engine with less hp than a heavy truck with higher HP... what is a realistic goal weight for the truck. I know I'm starting with the wrong truck lol.. thanks guys
