There's a guy from Portland that comes to the coast in a jeep tj with 3 axles, it wheeled and climbed pretty good. I believe he used 1/2 ton chevy axles, the first rear axle had two third members. one replaced the diff cover. He had to do a little machining to get the gearing to mesh up right! It had coil springs and seemed to flex pretty good! For a jeep it looked pretty cool, and it had a 6' bed!
