After I lowered my 56 and left the stock 17" steering wheel on it with manual steering, it steers great, very little effort at all. I can even parallel park it without any work. I went with the dropped axle and mono leafs because I wanted to get it as low as I possibly could using as close to factory parts as I could. I was building a shop truck and wanted that vintage vibe to the entire thing. If you replace everything, front and rear, you'll be as much $$$ in as you would a front IFS set up, but it's all in what you want. If our roads were better and it wasn't winter here for 8 months of the year, I wouldn't even hesitate to drive this every day. When I take the truck to car shows , the first thing people do is look under it to see what kind of suspension is under and how it's lowered. Not a single person could figure out why I didn't use IFS. For me, that was all the more reason to do a dropped axle because not a lot of people do it anymore.
