Try looking at an early Wagoneer axles. My truck is sitting on a '63 Waggy frame and if you can adapt the axles to the stock frame, I think they should work well. I think some of the later axles will work as well, and maybe better. The later models will get you away from the closed knuckles on the front axle and will come with front disc brakes. The earlier waggys (they made a body style change in about '75 that made the axles too wide) have a track width that is close enough that you can make up the difference with rim offset. Serious Jeep types will sometimes swap out the stock axles for something stronger, though most of us will never treat our rides the way they treat theirs. These early Waggy axles have a passenger side drop so you can use a pre '88 chevy drive train.
