To drop the axle or not?
Hi! A newer member here, XYZsniper has a 3" dropped axle for sale. It came with his truck, but was the incorrect straight axle for his truck so he has to part with it. I had my straight axle overhauled by Sid@dropped axles(king pins, and other things). I didn't mess with the King pins as I wanted it done correctly. So, if I chose to go with this axle, which I'm contemplating just leave it alone for now, or torture myself with a little more work.
I posed the question, the dropped axle will place a steeper angle on the drag link going from my Saginaw gear which may mess with bump steer(or not?). I just need some help making a decision here whether or not to go with this option of lowering the front a little more(or a lot). Or, should I just leave well enough alone? I didn't get a price from xyzsniper yet. dne' photo of the axle for sale: http://www.cornbread.com/~ratta/dropaxle2.jpg My truck in the front has the 2 leaf posies, but a stock straight axle.
