Piece of cake.  sky mfg. front axle plate, and trail gear pinion flanges.  Toyota high steer, sami box till I find a celica box.  I went with yj springs but I helped a buddy do his with stock springs.

Umm...He's wanting to do this with a Sidekick, not a Samurai. 

Leafspring setups on a unibody vehicle would be a little difficult.

Check out trailtough.com  They have a sweet setup for a linked front and rear toyota axle on Sidekicks.

Sidekicks are unibody? Huh I'm gonna have to ask my buddy how he put that body lift on his. I bet the cherokee guys would want to know how its done too.
