I have a 4" drop axle by Sid on my 59', really nice product. If I have to do it again I don't believe I would go with a 4" drop, with 235/60R15's up front the axle is pretty close to the ground. A 2"or 3" drop would be a better choice. I did remove 3 leaves on each spring up front, the chassis is really low. I am still up in the air about the ride height, I may replace the springs completely and just reverse the eyes if I want to go lower.
