dropped stubs or beems
heu guys, i know this has *** up many times, but because i'm still on dial up it seems easier to ask, plus things change so often it may have changed.
is anyone making a one peice forged dropped i beam for the 53 -56 or alternatly, dropped stub axles.
i am trying to resist fitting a IFS under the 56 because of how original it looks, but even with new front springs, i don't think i could get the front tyre level with the edge of the fender and if i flip the rear onto the top of the spring pack, the rear will need to b raised to level the truck.
if stubs r available i could use a combo of springs( this will allow me to move the centre bolt to centre the wheels in the opening) and stubs/axle, to end up with a safe truck that looks cool.

There are several sources for the dropped i-beam, I have seen 3" and 4" dropped, typically about $350 plus core. Classic Performance is one source and others sell them as well. I have not seen any dropped spindles so not sure if they are available.

If you get one from somewhere please report back on how you like it.

Some people on the HAMB site seem to think they aren't the best but I have no idea. Just another source.
