straight axle drop

I know there may be a thread somewhere but I was unable to find it. I'm looking to see what everyone has done to lower the front of a straight axle truck and what it looks like? Flipped axle, drop axle, remove leafs ect.

Re: Sheriff Truck--61 Uni on 08 CVPI

do you think it will make them hard to balance? I had thought about doing the same thing but thought it may mess up the balance of the wheel.

Re: straight axle handling

No it is not driveable. That's why I'm not too sure.

Re: straight axle handling

I don't want a show truck, it is more for a daily and recreation. I have a car to do what else I want to do. But I believe the truck should be fun to drive, not into beating myself to death to drive it 40 miles. I've taken my car on the hot rod power tour and it was a blast. Basically a shop truck b...

Re: camaro subframe

I would think if it is done properly that it shouldn't matter much what it is.

Re: straight axle handling

I have not put anything in paper yet. I have ruled out the crown vic as its too wide and limits the simple wheel choices. I have began thinking if flipping the front axle. I have heard the 73-79 brakes and rotors are supposed to swap on. If so those parts are way cheap. several seem to think putting...

Re: straight axle handling

Am I missing something? I thought it was like 750 just for the crossmember on their website? Plus a donor truck? Power steering seems to be a pain on straight axle as well

Re: straight axle handling

the Dakota seems pretty sweet, but it comes at a large investment. I'm not building a show truck, just a driver. maybe a power tour or pull the camper.

Re: straight axle handling

I have been thinking about that. I'm not a fan of crown vic due to the wheel selection and the width of it. Main reason for the Camaro is the fact I will get it for almost nothing and has all ready been rebuilt. Was on a bracket car.

Re: straight axle handling

unfortunately I'm no gm fan by any means, but may end up using a Camaro front stub. seems like the better way to go for my intended use. power steering and disc brakes a must. and that I discovered a way to keep ford bolt pattern makes it easier
