4" drop for my A pickup

I'd like to drop my '30 A pickup about 4". What front axle would be a bolt in? What's the best way to drop the stock rear 3" or so?

 

Chassis engineering axle would bolt in or have one of the Hambers in the Hamb-o-dex drop your axle for you. Lower the back by reverse eye spring and some longer shackles and a panhard.

 

You can't really install longer shackles on a stock Model A, the stock ones will tounch the axle housing if the bushings are worn through.

Take a few leaves out of the rear spring, and add a couple sacks of Redi-Mix to the bed. That'll lower the tail and it's adjustable too. Add or subtract Redi-Mix.

 

Actually I think the CE axle is a little narrower, so you couldn't use your stock wishbones without splitting them. It also requires a slightly shorter front spring. Maybe the Superbell is the same size?

You can also buy the Bell 4" for model A. It will be slightly narrower than stock.

 

Was hoping for an axle with a 4" drop that would fit my spindles, wishbone and all. I don't really want to have my stock axle dropped as I might want to go back to it some day. Also would rather use the original front spring. The truck drives like a dream compared to most As I've driven.
Thanks
