Ordering a dropped axle right away for my '50 3100. Trying to decide how much drop is "right" for me with 4 inches being the maximum. It would really help if anyone has links to photos of dropped trucks where they know how many inches from stock it has been dropped.
Thanks,
Bob

I would just take the tires off and lower mine with a floor jack to look at different drops but the front fenders are about 500 miles away right now.

Mine

Different shot

3' axle drop, 3" leafspring drop. Other equation involved is my tires are 245-45/17's in front, 275-40/17's in rear.
