ok so ive been looking to lower my truck , i am currently looking at a rear leaf conversion kit from classic perform they said it will lower the rear 4 inches and it comes with everything i need , my question is what will i need to do to lower my front to make it even , thanks

 

A dropped straight axle ..............or independent front suspension kit.

 

well i am deff. sticking with a straight axle but if i buy the dropped axle will my stock springs work with it?

 

I have TCI's lowered rear leaf spring kit and a drop axle from Dave Mann at Roadster. I was lower in the front until I put correct & new bushings & plates on the front cab mounts.

 

thanks for the pic Jaye the stance of your truck is just about where i want to have mine what amount of drop did you use?

 

I have the 3" drop axle on the front & TCI's 4" lowered leaf springs on the rear.

 

I used reversed eye mono springs all the way around on my 52 F-1 and it brought it down considerably from what it was at stock height and with the tire and wheel combo I have on it there is a one inch difference from the front to the back. Meaning that the front sits one inch lower than the front. It was the easiest way to go without altering the suspension geometry and still brought it down where I wanted it without a ton of extra work.

 

eBay $ 475.00 "buy now" OR "make an offer" for new 3 " drop front axle;
