48 KB-1 Front end

:t3717: Going to try and keep my 48 old school hot rod as muck as I can. Looking to drop about 2 to 3 inches. With that said here are some Questions.

Anyone out there make a dropped axle ?
Can the original axle be modified/bent ?
Notching/recessing the frame to lower the axle ?
Cut front end and kick it 2 to 3 inches. ?

One of the members found a guy who did do a drop on his axle, about 3", If I remember correctly, the fellow that did it said, never again? Use the search function on the forum to search for drop axle.

The place that modifies the axle is Nostalgia Sid’s. If you can find that posting about never again I’d be interested in reading it. I haven’t read anything bad yet but I still want to do this after I get my truck inspected by the state inspection.
