Solid Axle Update

[robin58]

On my 53 I did a 3" dropped axle along with monoleafs. Disc brake conversion to 5 lug 4 3/4 on center. Runs on 17" with 245/45 tires in the front. Rear was 4-linked and runs 275/40 tires. Steering was converted to a 69-87 GM Power steering box and mounted with custom fabbed bracket to avoid bumpsteer. Steereing column is from a 70's van. It sits real low. I barely have 3" of clearance under the front axle.

I like the looks of the solid axle, but not sure if I'd do it again as it does ride rough.
