Here is the setup Im looking at:

Has anyone used these springs or bought from POL?

I have no idea if the springs come with bushings or if that's an extra cost item.

I also have no idea of the pros and cons of this drop with springs. Will the rear end take a 4in drop with no other mods?

Do I need any other parts for the front end?

The website is lacking in information and this is my first straight axle truck so Im a noob.

 

I've been considering getting just the front ones from Eaton, I think it was. I'm curious as well if anyone has used these.
I really sway back and forth between this and a whole different front set up. This seemed more original.

 

Have you looked at Sids dropped axles in Guthrie?

I would like to take a look but at $300 for his axle and shipping both ways to return my core, it gets pretty spendy.

I also would like a R&P and those will not work with a drop axle.

 

Yeah I did look at Sid online, he not far from me. Kinda thought having springs set to height would be better then bending (heating/whatever he does, can't remember) axle. Then if springs didn't get drop I wanted could even do axle (probably get way to low for me then).
Yeah that was other deal, wanted rack pinion option as well and thought I'd seen same, can't do with drop axle.

Don't really want mono leaf spring either.

Start looking at all this, figure power steering, disc breaks, drop, wanting stay somewhat original/truck tough and eventually even cost wise start wondering when to look at other options.

 

nobodies got anything i guess?
