I know nothing about those besides what they look like. It's at least a 1 or like 1 1/2 ton right? You have to consider the weight, steering, axle width, crossmember clearances, trans, and transfer case. New drivelines, brake lines, maybe exhaust, and all that fun extra stuff. From what I see you would have to lift it for sure. What James did to his would be simple by comparison. I'm not trying to sound negative or discouraging, just by looking at the pics it looks pretty involded.

Other guys on here that own them or at least familiar with them will be way more help about that than I am.
