I am having the frame blasted and powdercoated. I want to drop the truck about 3 inches. I know I can get blocks for the rear. Is there a way to drop the front without spending $350 on new drop springs? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,274 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,274 | A bolt-on Mustang II front axle will do just that for $1200 or so.

If you drop the suspension height that far without notching the frame rails, the axle will hammer the frame every time you hit a bump. Then you'll have to deal with the bump steer caused by getting the drag link out of parallel with the ground. Making one major modification usually creates two or more problems you didn't anticipate, and some of them can be deadly dangerous.
