I am going to assume that you have a solid front axle. If so just buy a aftermarket axle thats dropped and install it. should be pretty easy. Might want to freshen it up and install new kingpins. Maybe some new shackels. Take pics during the process and let us know how it goes

A dropped axle is an aftermarket front axle that is modified to lower your truck using all the original parts.I just got a new king pin set & shackles.I hope everything goes to plan.Good idea about the pictures!
