[QUOTE=juanz1947;5207428]Here my dad straight axel truck 1954 Chevy 3 inch drop axle and some leaf springs remove
Ok, just learning here. I have a 49 that I want to lower. So, what is straight axel and 3 inch drop axel? His truck looks really good. I love the tires. Any info on them? Thanks, Jonna |

Re: pics of your lowered straight axel 3100
Just actually ordered my 4" dropped axle (also does 3") from Sid at Droppedaxles.com. I will say he very knowledgeable, incredibly helpful, and easy to work with thus the reason behind getting my business. Head over to http://www.droppedaxles.com/ to check out a guide on the installation of the dropped axle, the parts needed, and even pictures of customer's trucks.
Good luck. |

Re: pics of your lowered straight axel 3100
Sorry for late reply.
Sid asked, and i told him disk brake upgrade was in the future so if i remember its a little different to make up for the disk brakes. The picture angle just makes it look like a huge difference. I can measure this weekend. As for the scrub line - with 15" wheels... Its close. Hope i dont have a flat.
