To get the front to lay out your going to need to Z the frame, pie cut the upper control arm and eliminate the factory strut rods by triangulating the lower control arms. Also if you want to install a 2500 lb bag up front, the frame under the shock tower will have to be notched so it will clear the spindle.

Honestly it would be cheaper and faster to just do a front suspension clip swap out of a toyota or a mazda depending on what lug pattern you want to run. The benefits would be more room to install a larger bag for a smoother ride, better camber angles and lift.
