    I have installed 4 ,2 on 46-48 Chevys , a 37 Chevy, and a 38 Ford. They are terrific. The one I installed on my 47 Chevy convertible bolted on like the others, but the convertible frame has extra reinforcements where the strut rod brackets bolted to the frame. I had to adjust (shorten ) the reinforcements so they would bolt on. The adjustable feature was great and never had in alignment issues . I would use one again in a heartbeat.

    I have used several CE front X members and they all do the job. I am not sure about what you mean straight or dropped axle and adjustable. The adjustable units are for MII installations. They offer a dropped axle unit also for early Fords.
