Hey Mark, if all you want in 1" just reverse the eyes as someone else mentioned, since you in Dallas I could do that for you if you need the help, just pm me. K
iv got a reversed eye spring and a 4 inch dropped axel on it now, just sits to damn low. thought ablught putting the stock axel back under it,
I assume you have a Model A, therefore already have a Model A front crossmember (used to drop a '32 about an extra inch). Isn't there an aftermarket Model A style front crossmember that is advertised to be about an inch lower than a stock Model A? Maybe try that, it's got to be much cheaper than the axle (but will require some fab/R&R). Steve
I think he's wanting to go from a 4" drop axle to only 1" so he'd be changing the ride height 3" all together. What about running a 40-48 axle? They've got some stock drop built in!
why not just shim your spring. speedway sells them at .25 thick, i know an inch might be alot to shim but start small and see how you like it....
Are you feeling OK? I ask as I've never heard a REAL hot rodder complain about it being too low ( I have however heard complaints about it being too short, usually from the girlfriend/wife). Take the reversed eye spring back out and add a couple of leaves........should put you about where you want to be. Frank
Is your frame Z'ed or what is making it so low........ I always thought that if a hotrod didn't drag or scrape at least once a day that it was too high......
this is a 36 pickup i have and the oil pan is about 4 inches off the ground, maybe 3 inches, hah and yea, im trying to go from 4 inch drop to just 1 for a 3 inch raise.
