Well since Im doing my IFS, I now have a 3" dropped axle in the garage, complete with semi-new everything that I dont need anymore. Im wondering what I should do with it, as with most of the other stuff Im pulling off. Im probably going to post some things on ebay, but If anyone needs something before I do that, let me know.

 

55forder,

I may be interested in your dropped axle. I was going to get mine dropped by a guy in Phx.

 

why did you go to the ifs ? i am at the stage where i need info and i am wondering if the dropped front end would be ok .but no one has been able to tell me how they handle, ride etc.can you help?thanks

 

How much for the droped axle? Where are you located?

55forder looks like the dropped axle is in high demand. I know that I want one also. Kurt y-blocks rule!

 

I was trying to leave this post in the dust after I read the sticky posted by our moderator, but A question I can answer, I must answer.

Raymond Therrien: Well, I got my axle, and installed new kingpins, bushings, spring pins, and Tightened up my steering box. I still was struggling with slop in my steering, and a bit of wander. I looked at the spring perches, and the passenger side rear was cracked. I welded it together, and the weld was just not to my liking. I have read so much here in the forums about IFS, so I decided to look for a unit. The local "mopar only" guy had a beautiful unit, VERY clean, with the power booster, and hanging pedal for $300. I had to get it. I personally like the driveability of IFS, and the softness of the ride. My straight axle just seemed so rigid. I am in the process of putting this thing in (with help) and it is far more work than I imagined. I have had my truck in the garage for 4 months now, and Just finished straightening my frame. If you are into customizing your truck, I say you look into it. The guys here know whats going on with every question Ive ever had, and Ive come a long way on my first project. I will keep you guys posted.

Thanks guys!
