I did the wp replacement with the rockers (121-ish k), and haven't taken away the front end. Its not that hard with front end in place. I'm 5'11, and I found easier to place a 6x6 under my feet, to easier reach the bolts on the lower engine while reaching from over the bumper and radiators. I had a mopar wp, not sure who builds it, got it few years ago from a dealer. I used the new o ring and I also added a bit of orange rtv sealer on it, just in case.
On the other hand, doc's advice regarding the intercooler is very good, I havent tested mine, but plan on doing it soon. If you have a leak, now is probably the best time to fix it, and taking out the front end may be inevitable. I hope its not the case though. Good luck!
