DO you have a photo of it before? Is it a 3" dropped axle only or did you pull leaves, or do other things to lower it?
Here's a pic of the truck the day I got it. I pulled two leafs almost immediately, but the pack was so weak that the rest of them dearched very quickly. That's why I went on my search for a drop axle. I'm on a tight budget, so I had to find a used one. Worked out great though. I got it from a guy in Wisconsin while we were up there on spring break. I got the Nostalgia Sid's axle (drum to drum with new king pins installed), steering stabilizer, a monster tie rod with new ends, steering box, new shocks, spring packs, and an adjustable drag link (and a set of wheels and other misc parts) all for $300. He had put 168 miles on the setup. He went with a Heidt's front end because his wife didn't like the ride.



Thanks for the compliments!
