Re: Question on lowering my 79

Well, to be honest, I've had this truck for a few years, and never really noticed the fact that the front leaf spring had a negative arch, and was kinda shocked when I first saw it thinking it sagged or something.

Apparently, though, this is the way it origionated from the factory and it's called, at least to my knowledge, an "underslung" suspension. (origionating from the American Underslung company for example

)




Ohh, and pay no attention to the rust, I've been working on the rear and it's cleaning up real good, down to bare metal. rear leaf springs are clean and ready for powder coating. (the rear ones were looking worse to start)

Anyway, I'd do a Axle flip but can't find a kit for the life of me. I'm sure I don't need a kit per say, but I'd like that.

I'm trying to eliminate the easy options first, If it's not possible I'll go with a custom axle flip. That would probably give me the best drop anyway.
