I am using a stock axle that has been heated and dropped. Same concept but is a little more cost friendly than CPP's kit.

I got it from a guy on ebay. www.droppedaxles.com is the guys site.

I am using the original springs with a coupls leafs taken out.

I put a CPP axle and Posies 3" drop springs under my '58, also upgraded to disc brakes. It went in quite well. I opted for the srpings from Posies because they were a two leaf super slider design and thought there would be less wrap up than the monoleaf design.

I don't have truck on the road and probably won't because I am trying to sell it. So I can't give you any feed back on how it handles and drives, but the install was easy.

I was also looking for some input on this kit. I have the issue of Classic Trucks where they do the drop and it looks easy until they start bending stuff to fit. Not sure if I want to get into that or not.

what abought bump steer will that make it harder to keep on the road ??

If I can sell my S10 swap stuff I was planning on going with an axle from these guys: http://www.droppedaxles.com/
If your a HAMB member you get a discount, regular price is $350 for just the axle, or $300 if you have a core to send them.

Ahhh man, I was a HAMB member when I got mine and i didnt know that!! I took advantage of the core definately though... I sent him 2

as your pics say, classic trucks did an article on the dropped axle - not sure if it was ccp though. It seemed to be pretty straight forward. The main point they stressed was the king pins, that you should use new ones.

I can look it up if you want, but it should be on their web site in the tech section

Well I think I'll go with CPP dropped axle and Posies two leaf super slider and CPP's disc brakes up front....

I'd like to know if there are any bump steer issues with using this set up. I know in the tech article about lowering solid axles, you need to re-configure the steering to avoid bump steer
