ive been around mud bogs a while now....have you ever noticed that most all trucks running tall and have tractor tires have huge leaf springs spaced with tubing or no springs?theres only so much arc you can put in a leaf...go to a real mud bog and look at the trucks, most well built have more in their front axle then you have in your whole jeepwith the cb and mossy oak seat covers.......some of those pics were bad fab work but most of them looked like mud bog trucks with roller tires on em even the ones with no springs and huge square tubing looked put together well enough to perform in the mud....
As a rule we like to keep our vehicle's center of gravity as low as possible, but when you're driving through 6-foot-deep mud holes it's easy to see why tall is good. and you can only go s high with a spring thus this is why they use the tall square tubing to space it up a few feet just like monster trucks with out coil over air shocks and full tube chassis
i can look at most random jeeps here and laugh and have nightmares about what they have done to their jeeps.
