This is my truck with a 4” drop and stock 15” wheels. I highly recommend going 3” max if you do this. I love my truck, but I think it would’ve been better to not go more than 3” around.
Double check your scrubline and talk to Sid at droppedaxle.com
It won't hurt the axle if you drop it 3" or 4"- - - - - -just keep your toes out of the way- - - -it's heavy! Jerry

I agree with Chris, 3" would be the max. I have a 4" drop from Sid, nice product, but I'm a little concerned about running 15" wheels.

I'm building a '50 3100. I've fabricated 3" blocks for the 10 bolt rear. I plan to run 20" wheels on the rear and 18" up front with drop spindles. I will admit that the stance of your truck looks fine...I wouldn't change it.
The stance looks good but you have to look at the scrubline.
Example: looks great, but if I blow a tire, my axle is 1-2 inches off the ground. If the tire comes off the rim, my rim will not touch the ground.
I’m just saying, it’s your truck, but I don’t recommend it.

I have the same issue with the scrub line, if I had to do it again I would only go to 3 inches.

The look I was going after was 60 series tires with raised white letters (RWL). No one makes RWL tires any larger than 15' diameter, so I either change the look I want or stick with 15" tires. Currently it's being mocked up 15" BFG T/A's. Time will see.
