Last post almost four years ago, and the last time he was on the forum was about the time Dave offered encouragement about getting back into the project! I wouldn't hold my breath for a reply from Oldjeep - you might try a PM to him, and if he's still got the same e-mail he might see it??

The builder broke my heart on posts #6 and #8 with his reference to dropped spindles and short coils. Geez, when you're planning a project like this and want it lower on either or both ends, keep all the pieces stock for reliability and Z the frame on either or both ends. With a little forethought, you can put her in the weeds for no cost to you and keep all the factory geometry intact.
