I don't think so much incorrect as confusing. Too many things being commented on at the one time. A lot of people also don't realise that 35/36 axle ,spring and wishbone are all different to 37/42. The only common part in the 35/36 front end to any other model is the axle which is the same as 33/34. As Krylon 32 was trying to tell you was the 48" SoCal axle is the closest you are going to get to the stock axle.And it is forged so another box ticked. However the 48" axle because it takes the stock spring perch measurement means slight work on the steering arms to clear the axle. The reason some axles don't need the arms bent is they have a narrower perch measurement so there is more room between the perch and the stub to allow this.
However, the point I tried to make on the HAMB was that with the stock wishbone on a 35/36 you will have to bend the arms to get the tie rod/drag link to clear the bone. So trying to find an axle that clears the steering arms is fruitless beacause you are going to have to bend them.
The 48" socal will go in without changing spring or wishbone.
Just get under the car (without jacking it up)with a tape and look where everything is going tio be 4" up and 2" in.
I tried to keep this as simple as possible for you to understand.
Also I may be wrong but I think the last poster is the man(thunderbird esq) you need to talk to for a dropped stock axle.(I may have the wrong guy)
