excuse me but you know exactly what the OP is talking about and you have given no real information.

OP read the link that rattlewagon posted.
you will want to take out the overload leaf on the rear pack and add a couple more leafs to the pack to beef it up a little for the extra weight up front.

you will also need crossover steering/high steer. look at all pro offroad for that, its not cheap but way worth it. as well as longer break lines and longer shocks.
