    Thanks! 2" axle. 1 1/2" springs and back is just a flipped axle with a c notch. Drives great! Used dropped tie rod ends instead of orig plan of tie rod drops. Not a bit of wobble, bump steer or anything. Just straight down the road.

    Looks pretty level, I always thought when you flipped the rear you got around 6" of drop and would have a "rake" affect if you didn't come close to that up front. I'm gathering notes for mine and want to drop it, just nothing crazy. Your's looks spot on man!

    She looks great! Loved that truck, sad to see it go, but glad she's on the up and up in her new home. Another one saved and looking sweet!

    Truck looks good.. I've always liked the 57-60 trucks after they are lowered.
