Default Jeep gladiator scaler.

I picked up a jeep gladiator from the local goodwill, its a smaller model like this one. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...36&tx=61&ty=34
I want to make a scaler out of it. Its a little over 5 inches wide, and about 11 inches long. what would be the best axles to use for it?

if your reasons are not clear, then your criticism is invalid.
edit: also i am not a big fan of scalers with high clearance links, but the look especially terrible when they are on upside down like your rear seems to be.
