    I am looking at putting a dropped axle into my Model A roadster. I was wondering if anybody has some pics of 2.5"-4" dropped axles they wouldn't mind sharing. I appreciate it! :D

    This is about a 3.5 dropped axle under the model a frame on my 27 roadster. Not sure who dropped it, but it was done a long time ago.

    Here's a 33-34 axle that was dropped about 4 inches. The front spring has been de-arched a tad so it sits a little lower than a stock spring would. Front tires are temp rollers but the right overall height (24").

    The black coupe in the background is a 4 inch Magnum axle.

    Here's a side view of the ride height. Remember, spring arch and tire size has alot to do with the overall look.

    The axle is only half of the equation.. Stock spring, reverse eye spring, mono-leaf spring, and/or flattened spring are also going to effect stance....
