i agree witht the spacer idea as well. anybody know how much of a drop this gives....just the height of axle?
the welding will be done by a friend at a welding shop, so i wont have the opportunity to screw this up.
the axle is going into late 20s GM frame rails that'll be under my RPU. trying to build this with just the crap i have laying around without spending any money. i know that is near impossible, but i think i should have enough laying around to build a near driving frame and maybe part of a cab.
the cab is not going to have functional doors, sicne it'll be home-built. so the truck has to sit fairly low for ease of getting in and out of without sittling below the scrub line. i'm sure that the frame might have to be Z'd in front a little and probably Z'd around 14" rear. i'm thinking somewhere around 6-8" off the ground should keep me above the scrubline.
i'm also running leaf springs on all four corners. since thats what i have and it'll be alot simpler and cheaper for me to set up this suspension rather than having to split bones and suicide perches and trying to mate brakes to a model A axle and everything else involved. plus i want frame horns, which arent possible on a suicide setup.
anyways, what do you guys think?
