Well it’s more of a matter of opinion on if a radius arm is a good as a 3/4 link front. I personally believe in 3 link over a radius arm, based on the geometry through its travel range. But without a doubt radius arms are stupid simple to do and can still have plenty of travel.
Rugged rocks also has a 3link frame side bracket kit. Sourcing your own link materials, track bar brackets, and link brackets(axle side) wouldn’t be hard. You could get away with the waggy axle if you work your link geometry good enough to keep the pinion in check. But a High pinion housing would make it so much easier.
Depending on how much uptravel you want will dictate if you’ve got to move stuff around under the hood and off the inner fenders. You can get a pretty decent shock tower in there without modifying too much, but do plate the frame rails.
I haven’t looked into linking the rear too much. I’d focus on getting the front done first, then your next stage of the build would be link the rear. Try to minimize down time so you can enjoy it. Divide it up into weekend projects, hone your skills building bumpers and sliders. A rear tire carrier wouldn’t be a bad idea because they are stupid expensive as well.
