Hopefully that makes sense.

NO that will not even work. Along with being unsafe the whole geometry of the suspension would be screwed up.
Something like this straight tube axle intended for the "gasser" crowd would http://www.speedwaymotors.com/1949-1...Axle,8983.html
I don't know how wide the axles are for the two wheel drive postal jeeps but one of those would work as a straight axle if it were wide enough and get you the lift you want especially if you want the prerunner look.
