I did not modify anything and I used the existing old flat leaf springs. If I go any lower I would need to bend the steering arm for the drag link to clear the axle at full left lock. I used Sid's drop axle. He does modify the tie rod connection to come up rather than down so the tie rods won't interfere with the leaf springs. I also had him install new King pins. I mailed my axle to him, he mailed it back 3 weeks later and I bolted it in after work on two afternoons.
