You know, one time I was under my truck measuring out various dimensions to see how a 3" dropped axle would fit, and I noticed that the axle dropped anything over 2" MADE IT SIT BELOW THE SCRUB LINE.

I've been told that this is very unsafe, because if you were to blow out a tire (or both), the axle then hits and shovels into the ground, instead of the wheel rim. MAJOR DAMAGE...

I have stock 16" wheels. Anything over a 2" drop and the axle is lower than the bottom of the wheel. Obviously with bigger wheels and thinner tires this wouldn't be a problem.

Unless I'm mistaken about all this?
