The V8 axle will drop your front end a bit if that is what you are looking for. Reverse the spring eyes for more drop.
You will need a 1/4" thick spacer for the wishbone as the V8 axle is thinner. Put the spacer on the bottom of the axle. Otherwise the tie rod will rub on the wishbone. I found 1/4" fender washers that work nicely after having the center hole enlarged.
