That picture you've showed us there has no body lift! Is is a current picture?

SO, how large do you want to go? The tracker frames are just as ready to take modfications as the Samurai. Are you looking to go Solid axle up front like a Samurai? That too can be done without changing frames. The jist of this bit is that switching frames would be a pain in the bottom and wouldn't gain you anything.

Sounds complicated.

If I were you...I'd try to sell all your samurai stuff to one of these zukiworld whackos....and then do a SAS(solid axle swap) with all the monies.   Or...a multi-link/swing arm rear end setup...with a fancy coilover lift and bigger control arms in the front.   That would be cool.

either swap the front suspension from the sammy to the kick frame and install the kick front third (to have the proper gear ratio) then sell off the rest of the sammy stuff.
or just sell the sammy stuff and get some yota axles and do it that way...

would be more work to swap the frames then it is to do the solid axle swap on the tracker frame.

What kind of tires are those? Any good?

You should stuff some 33's under there and beef up some drivtrain...
