I have a 44 ford v8 truck coming. I want to lower it approx 3-4" all round.
Seems to be many opinions on this
A friend used a 3" drop and dropped leaves and then flipped the rear axle
This has made the truck maybe too low and the running board is level with the ground, I would prefer a slight rake. Flipping the axle was a lot of work and now we are looking at how to raise it a little!
So could I
Fit drop axle and use stock front springs
Reverse long rear leaf and remove some other leaves

Leave front axle but as above reverse the eyes and remove some leaves
Same at rear

The latter plan would be virtually no cost, although all of the bushes are likely to be shot

It's just a question of whether to order an axle or not, I'm in the uk so will need to get it shipped with the truck

Thanks
Ian
