Default 15 jku sport ram 2500 swap

So I wanted some opinions because I like others views and I don’t know it all lol so I have a 215 wrangler unlimited sport 37” tires, 20” wheels, big brake kit. I have chance to pick up a 2016 Ram 2500 6.2L with 62k on it. My question is what would I need to take the 6.2L Hemi, the 6 speed transmission, the front and rear axles and whatever else I need to complete the conversion. I’m taking my 3.6 and putting it into my 2010 JKU that needs an engine. The Ram is duly functional I can take whatever is needed from it. I am possibly looking to jumping up to a 6” lift amd 40” tires. I am also looking into Redneck Ram gear box and hydro stabilizer. Thoughts? I am asking because I don’t know it all and I need advice. Thank you in advance

Welcome, 1st thought is Check your state emission laws on your planned swap.. Does OH have an emissions inspection? There are Hemi swap kits ..Check these companies:

and you might find this video informative:

Cost is in line with what I tell everyone. He never covered the suspension needed to hold the weight up and not sure if new driveshafts were required which would be the case if the TCase relocated backwards. But my total LT install with the Motech kit, suspension and DS's was $17500CDN/$12,700USD. And I reused the 3.8 radiator. But they both are expensive and a lot could be saved getting a wrecked 5.7 motor/8 spd auto with low miles.
