Solid axle front axle 52 1/2 ton AD
Has anyone reversed the spring location from top to bottom of axle?
What are the pitfalls of this procedure, is it possible ..... SAFE |
Re: Solid axle front axle 52 1/2 ton AD
ive never tried it but some thoughts come to mind:
with the spring under the axle you have no flat surface to mount the spring on which I think would cause the axle to be un stable. there may be some interference with the tie rod and the springs it may also put the axle below the scrub line between your wheels causing interference with the road. those are just some possible problems. there may be more. |

Considering a drop axle seems to be the norm, I'm guessing there are reasons not to go spring under.

Thanks for the input
I had a guy ask me this question as I had never heard of anyone doing this I will pass this on to him |

I still think it is possible to make it work, if you want to mess with it long enough. But I would say a dropped I-beam axle or IFS would be a better choice if you have the money.
