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 fully functional and I can take whatever is needed from it. I am possibly looking to jumping up to a 6" lift amd 40" tires and 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

Simplified list would be something like:

• motor and transmission mounts
• driveshatfs
• some wiring harnesses
• steering axle relocation
• radiator
• hoses
• exhaust
• suspension linkage (stock won't prolly work)
• battery relocation
• etc... etc...

Welcome to the forum! It will be an impressive project and worth journaling with pictures.

Im assuming you mean a 6.4. The 6.2 is only in the TRX Ram.

You will need a swap kit to make all the electronics work. I dont know if the axles will work because I dont think anyone has swapped them so who knows what the tone ring tooth count is on those. You will have to do a bunch of research.

Or you can forgo all of that and do what they did for Ultimate Adventure back in 07 grafting the JK body onto a 2500 Ram:

I figured since I was taking the hemi I might as well put the 1 ton axles on they should be compatible I’d assume I’m still doing research but if I want to go above 37” I will need the 1 ton axles. So since I have the whole truck if I can use it all great and only put out for minimal parts

I assume you're keeping 4Wdrive for the build?
Basically, keep the Steering Wheel, Center Console, Wipers, ABS, Gas Tank, Fuel Pump, and Lights...HVAC may be option. Strip the stock harness of Engine sensors and incorporate "stand-alone" harness. TIPM will be a "Hot Mess"!

Just in case you haven't come across this:

The channel has a whole series on the swap:

How much is this Ram going to cost you?

Alternative...Put Hemi in 2010 Jeep? Keep the 2015 "pristine", but underpowered...New parts on 2015 and shift castoff's to 2010...if you're lucky you'll probably break-even? (Just thinking outside the box...)
