I dont have any personal experiance with them, but you would think if jeeps use them alright, it should be fine...

I was under the impression the 4BT was quite a heavy engine. Wonder how our crap suspensions up front would handle that...

1. I almost said something on the commings thing, but held my fingers back... lol
2. Our axels arnt the weak point IMO... its out suspension in the front of the truck. WE need some good reliable shocks/struts/springs/(insert here something that will stiffen the ride) before we go tossing a bunch of weight up front...

Solid axle would be nice but it would be very difficult on these trucks.

RE: engine swap size question
I'd think swapping in a hemi from the same year truck should be pretty easy. I've been watching for a wrecked '05 ram/jeep/durango..then I started thinkin' about the 6.1...but was that available yet in '05? You'd probably want to run the awd platform like the srt-8 jeep does instead of the 4wd t case...just to make the electronics less of a hassle...
