Re: How to build a heavy hauler?

Bob was refering you to 3/4t(8-lug)drop spindles.The thing is,that will only put your rear up more(visual effect).You said you wanted to level it out a bit.You can only drop the rear so much before "C" notching the frame.Not exactly a strengthening proceedure for heavy hauling.And,the only way to bring the rear down more than an inch or two would be to reduce spring capacity.Unless it`s a leaf sprung truck.If it is,you can do an axle-flip,but will require a "C" notch.I`m sure you can notch and beef it up as strong,if not stronger.
