Drop axle question

A buddy of mine that runs a hot rod shop told me he has a friend with a jig that presses model a axles in to drop axles, any one ever heard of this? Pros cons?

 

Yep,thats how its done,with a little heat.

 

Thats how real dropped axles are made...put it in the jig, heat with a torch, then stretch the end.

 

Is that going to be safe?

 

Safer than an aftermarket cast axle.

 

And as long as you don't quench it or anything after - just let it cool down slowly in still air or buried in sand.

 

Really?
You need to spend some time on google.

 

Really? Excuse me for asking the opinion of those who know more than me, didn't know it was a crime.

 

Youtube.... Its safe but if done wrong it will never track right or if you heat it up too much you can stretch the king pin hole....

 

I'm going to pay another guy to do it just wanted to make sure it was ok

 

make sure he has a beer in his hand..... that's how you know he's good

 

Ok mister safety.

I got one from this guy Sid, droppedaxles.com I was happy with it

 

They have been making dropped axles that way for more than 50 years. It has proven to be a safe and effective way to lower an early Ford.

 

Your friend may have been speaking of my axle fixture, I can do up to a 4 inch drop for you....Jack

 

Way more than 50 years. 70 plus years.
