So I went out and acquired an 8.8 rear axle out of an 02 explorer sport. 3.55 gears and disc brakes. Upon preliminary measurements the spring width and frame width is 48.25". The distance between the calipers, especially the banjo bolts, is a bit under 47". According you public school math that means a portion of the calipers will be inside between the frame and spring. My question has to do with lowering the rear. Goal is somewhere in the 2-3" range. Who has done this swap and are there any interference issues with range of spring travel between caliper and frame with this drop. Thanks. Dave

Has anyone tried lowering the back end with the leaf springs from a donor car? i've seen cars with posies dropped leaf springs but, logistically, what would be the requirement for a leaf spring to "drop"? say you were to take the leaf springs off of something like a '87 chrysler new yorker (just an example) and add longer shackles? i dunno, thinking out loud.
