Hot Rods 33/34 Ford axle in a Model A question

I want to use a 33/34 front axle in my model A to lower it a couple inches. What do I have to change out to do that? I just want to lower the front and rear a bit . Leaving the rest pretty much stock for now .

 

I used a 36 and just had to put a washer in to make up the difference in the wishbone space.

 

33-36 is the same axle. Different wishbones. Model A perch width is 2-1/4 inches and 33-36 is 2 inches. It should be noted that functionally a 32 heavy and 33-36 axles are exactly the same. 32 heavies just have a different forging. The king pins, perch pin holes, and drop are all in the same locations.

Probably the bigger question is the brakes. Do you have juice or mechanical?

 

What brakes are you running?

 

You can get 2 inches lower with the stock axle.

 

Was going to keep stock for now. I have everythink to male it an AV8 but not ready to Txs

 

I have a reverse eye how would I increase the drop from that easily for now

 

I removed a spring leaf to drop it further. You can also get the larger leafs re-profiled flatter.

 

33-36 axle
32-34 spindles.
32-34 perch pins bushed to accept model A shackle.
1/4” spacer for wishbone at axle.
Reverse eye spring. Remove leaves to taste.
Use existing kingpins and brake bits.

 

^^^ Nice!

 

Perfect

 

Here is the car today with an AV8 makeover.
