Install 3" deaver rear sammy springs all the way around with m/l's in the front and slightly longer shackles in the back. Keep the springs under the axles and install longer shocks and shock mounts. Put 4.9 tcase gears and lockers with some 31" boggers and hit the dirt. Some nerf bars and a petroworks skid pan with some type of Over the top steering and the rocks would not be so bad.
This way you keep the center of gravity really low but have all the gearing needed and more than modest flex for a extremely capable daily driver. It would be a sleeper truck and make you think of how some us old fogeys use to wheel before spoa mania.
Too top it all off, with a cherry on top. Add a roll cage, Sidekick p/s , wheel spacers and some tube or half doors. Presto , done , now take out and impress others with its simplicity.
