I guess what I meant was how hard to do it without a kit? I have access to a shop with a lift and someone who can weld.

How hard, well that's up to the person's skill. There is suspension geometry to keep in mind. Now if you could just flip the factory brackets (I don't think the holes line up) it's easy as pie really.

A fullsize truck on the Rubicon? I heard rumors that that would entail a fair bit of body damage.

Yeah I haven't kept thread updated on the build.

42" PBRockers on beadlocks, 3link front suspension, 14" coilovers, double ram assist, ported steering box, stock ps pump. No kit by any means. Integrated all the particular parts. Cut, welded, fabbed, etc.

I'm curious how you mounted the hydro assist. I was reading your build thread and that's a kickass truck!
