Ok, just learning here. I have a 49 that I want to lower. So, what is straight axel and 3 inch drop axel? His truck looks really good. I love the tires. Any info on them? Thanks, Jonna |

hopped up, don't know how juan did his, but I fabbed up my own mounting bracket for my steering box and used a pitman arm for dropped trucks.

Re: pics of your lowered straight axel 3100
here are a couple of mine, we flipped the pitman arm upside down and moved it on top of the leaf springs to make it work

I have a 57 and it looks like with the 3" drop ax and monos I can get pretty low. Not on the boards like I want but funds wont allow.

Re: pics of your lowered straight axel 3100
Just actually ordered my 4" dropped axle (also does 3") from Sid at Droppedaxles.com. I will say he very knowledgeable, incredibly helpful, and easy to work with thus the reason behind getting my business. Head over to http://www.droppedaxles.com/ to check out a guide on the installation of the dropped axle, the parts needed, and even pictures of customer's trucks.
Good luck. |
Re: pics of your lowered straight axel 3100
I will be going with sids axle looks like it will be close enough to low for me till I can bag it.

Re: pics of your lowered straight axel 3100
How is your turning radius affected with the dropped axle???
|
Re: pics of your lowered straight axel 3100
man...even a 3" drop axel looks like it will put the scrub line real low if you have 15" wheels!!! Can you post a pic of the clearance?
|
Re: pics of your lowered straight axel 3100

Sorry for late reply.
Sid asked, and i told him disk brake upgrade was in the future so if i remember its a little different to make up for the disk brakes. The picture angle just makes it look like a huge difference. I can measure this weekend. As for the scrub line - with 15" wheels... Its close. Hope i dont have a flat. |
