Let me explain my statement.
I don't install 4" and higher lifts, OP was asking about using latter axle on stock reached springs. I installed an '84 dana 60 under my '63 on the original springs
and wanted the drag link to be parallel to the springs so that as the slightly positive arched springs flattened and grew the drag link would also get longer in it's ark keeping changes to a minimum.
I have done the same thing on my '42 Dodge carryall with '93 springs and steering box it works for me.
