I have a HMMWV H1 scissor jack with an Agile Offroad adapter that works great for a wide variety of vehicles. I've it for several years and love it.

Thanks. Glad you like the LJ. Here are a few more pics. It flexed nicely. :cool:
Unlike my other Jeeps, I had help with the LJ build by an amazing shop/guy with a strong CNC & wheeling background. He designed the steering, and is 100% to credit for the amazing handling. The shop is no...
Yes, it was a tug version (CJ-10a). I had two of them at one point. The cab is actually fairly small...standard CJ width/dimensions. The tugs, though, were actually mounted on a shortened FSJ (Full-Size Jeep) frame, but with about 50% thicker frame rails. They're cool little vehicles, and...
Nice truck...welcome from East Tennessee. I'm not sure where you're at in SW Michigan, but I grew up in Edwardsburg, lived in St. Joe for a couple years, and was in GR since the late '90s (moved to TN a few years ago).
I'm sure that Doppleganger is on to something here. It's not a GM-specific thing. Jeeps had narrower rear axles than the fronts, as well. For example, wide-track CJs ('80s-era) had front axles that were about 2" wider than the rear (56.5" front, 54.5" rear).

Thanks for the input. I'm hoping to stuff at least a skinny 33" tire under there. We'll see.
And yes, I love the H2 wheels, too. I obviously had them on my old Jeep (had to have a friend machine out the centers to clear those hubs), and am happy to have them on my CUCV, as well. I have a...
Yes I am. I've talked with Brian on the phone (super nice/approachable guy), but haven't had the pleasure of meeting him in-person yet. I wasn't able to make the first GM Truck Fair he organized last fall, but plan to make it happen this year.
Thanks! Yes, those tools are pretty slick, and given my less-than-typical question, I thought it might eventually boil down to me getting one of those. I'm certain it would be money well spent vs. guessing at the right combination of wheels & tires, which could be a very spendy mistake.
Thank...
A quick background before asking my question...
I came from 20 years in the Jeep world, and have always loved low-COG builds with minimal-to-no-lift and big tires. It drives me a little nuts to see vehicles lifted higher than they need to be for a given tire size (I see it daily here in East...
