Hmm I didn't think of the spindle to axle height. I don't know that 2" is really all that much considering how tall it sits now. Funny though, Resplining should go ok, I have access to an entire machine shop.
I will think some more. FInding the correct width axle is a trick. 67" seems pretty popular and plentiful If I thought the wheels wuld clear the fenders I'd just leave it alone. I think the tracking of a too wide rear with a stock front coild make the ruck handle even more odd.
