Before reading anything anyone else typed I was going to suggest body mounts, looks like you are already working on that.

He has a 4wd; that would require modification to the front drive shaft for sure, probably the rear drive shaft, 4x4 shifter needs to move in the cab, and the engine oil pan may hit the differential during suspension travel. The oil pan vs front differential is the reason 4x4's use the back mounting holes.
