dropped axle

[c10 custom]

hi guys i was wondering how to lower my 1947 gmc advance design truck shortbox whats the lowest you can go with dropped axles and does anyone have pictures of there truck with dropped axles thank you

i wouldn't go any lower than 4" with a dropped axle. I've heard you can use a 6" if you can find it but require more work on everything else

I have a 3" dropped axle from Sid's on my 1949 chevy 3100. That was the lowest I could go & not have the bottom of the axle hit the road if a tire came off the rim. I also had to mount the tie rod under the steering arms so it would clear the springs. Now it looks & handles much better. Good luck

Www.droppedaxles.com ask fo sid. Read the how to link on the chevy section, it will walk you through it. A truck can be dropped in a day when you have everything in front of you. I bought everything Sid offered including steering and rear blocks. I also have new shackles and full 8 pack leaf packs. I could pull a couple leafs and go lower, but I haul a lot with it too. Here's mine.
