It can be done, but requires as much modification as your rear did. I'm pretty sure the stock CJ springs give about 2" of lift, so... might want to be careful with how much lift you're getting. May want to consider staying SPUA in order to not get too extreme of drive angles?

There's CJ kits out there, or you could build your own. Lift shackles - hahaha. Speaking of shackles, you might want to reverse the ones in front while you're at it.

Toyota front drivelines solve high angle problems pretty well.
