Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train Lowering body on '51 Chevy Truck

Ted-

I would go ahead with re-working the springs before removing any leaves. You might be surprised at the ride.

Another possibility would be to use a main leaf with reversed eyes. This would lower the truck another 1 - 1 1/2 inches.

On the steering arm, I would probably heat and bend it. You want the drag link and spring close to parallel to minimize bump steer.

Hope this helps.
