  1. OK, sorry for all the questions, but this is very helpful. I checked out the process to reverse the spring eyes, did you do that yourself? I saw the jig for reversing the main spring, and I can make that up and try it. That would lower the frame and lower the pitman arm compared to the leaf spring. What space did you end up with between the frame rail and the rubber bumper on the top of the axle/spring? Just curious what type of suspension travel you end up with when the spring eyes are reversed, hate to ask for a couple of more photos. Could I see the space between the frame and leaf spring? And, can you take a photo of the drag link connected to the steering box? I want to ensure that I have the same pitman arm on the steering box. Thanks again......Doug
  2. My misunderstanding, I thought that you had the axle dropped by Sid....yes, my axle has been dropped by Sid...that is the challenge I am trying to overcome. If you did not have the axle dropped, what was lowered that required the use of the dropped tie rods? Thanks for your help.....Doug
  3. Nelkor, I am dealing with the same challenges as you...I hope you do not mind the additional question on this thread. Oil Soup, could you post a photo of your drag link? I have the same set up on a 53, and I am making a drag link, but there is not a straight shot from the arm on the steering box to the steering arm on the wheel. I hit the underside of the leaf spring, and there is no room for suspension travel. I have the taper reversed on the steering arm on the wheel, but still not enough clearance. It looks like I need to drop the steering arm on the wheel. Doug
