Don't Jeep frames need to flex somewhat? I saw a bare one sitting on a
garage floor. The owner picked up one corner, and the other three
corners stayed on the floor!

CJ frames up till the late 70's were mostly un-boxed c cahannel & were
very flexy. Most people building up an early CJ foe seroius off-road
activities will completely box thier frames for the added stiffness &
t prevent cracking at stress points, htey rely on up-graded
suspensions to keep all 4 on the ground.
