I'd say it would almost be easier to start from scratch,
you'll have to cut off all mounts anyways and then tons of fab work
just sayin'

Are you sure thats the route you want to go? You could trim your stock bumpers for more clearance. Your radiator and ps cooler are going to be really exposed as well as a few other things with those.
I agree with Mudd on this one, by the time you get them mounted properly you may as well have started from scratch and have something that will look better. Its your jeep though.

Been down this road a few times
Using something like the above you'll have to make mounts either way you go, then try and attach what you have to them, sounds easy doesn't it
BUT what you are not looking at is the grand scheme of how the KK front and rear are compared to what you have there. Lots of difference, you'll have a LOT of filling in to do to even make it look have way decent
Now if you don't care then no problems
Just always found that most times its easier to start with a blank slate, then you can build it to the shape of the vehicle

Good luck waiting for the outcome

Don't put those on your Jeep. They look like a bag of doo doo (I typed the uncensored word FYI)
