I'm not sure what (or even IF) this guy was thinking. 12 inch lift blocks? Even with trailing arms, those lift blocks could very well collapse sideways. I'm sorry, but if you plan on putting 2.5 ton Rockwell axles under your off-roader, keep the frame close enough to the axles for leaf springs to work on their own or use a multi-link setup with REALLY long springshocks. Like the ones found under trophy trucks out on the Baja 1000. And pinion brakes? What happens when this guy breaks an axle shaft? (Kinda tough with these axles, but still...)
Here [link] is more or less how those axles looked from the factory.

But I bet this thing is a blast to drive while it holds up!
