You mean something like this?
That's my old D8T with our conversion.
If you were to run the buggy front tower and the SC body mounts, posts, and shock standoffs you could do this on the ET48 but the spring perches will hit the arms at full downtravel. You'll also lose some uptravel. With the buggy front shocks you might not have any interference at full droop (not sure, need to put it in the computer to check) but you also won't
have very much droop.
You could figure something out with the stock truggy tower, but the body would sit pretty high if you don't mod it. I've heated them up and pushed big dimples in the hood and that works. Another option is to cut out clearance for the shocks and towers like how some rock crawler guys do.
If I figure something out I'll pass it on, I plan on running this body on my truggy
