Thinking about a drop?
I installed the 3 inch drop axle. My truck drives like hell but it sits nice LOL... I'm working on getting it all set up. Here's a before and after shot.

You did it, that is the look I am going for (check my other post), Think I am going to have to do it. What brand springs did you use? I am thinking Posies. How bout the axle, I have had great service from No Limit.

The springs are stock with the exception of the reverse eye spring. (you'll have to ask Joe Hoffman what brand it is as I bought them from him). The drop axle is from Mo Drop and is the same as the stock ones but is stretched the 3 inches. The ones from No Limit are the same as from Mid Fifties and CPP. I believe the same person makes them.

Does a 3" drop put anything below the scrub line? I want to do a drop axle on my '60 but I don't want to ruin it if I have a flat.

You mentioned the front, but what did you do to the back...it appears to have been given some "love" also?

Question Does Mo Drop have a website
I googled Mo Drop and didn't find anything. Do they have a website or catalog?
