Re: Drop Axle Installation
I've had Okie Joe do my work for me. It is more than just heating and bending -- the axle needs to be magnafluxed and the correct camber set. Also, depending on the spindles and steering, you may want to send Joe a new set of kingpins and your spindles - such that he can setup the kingpins as well as heat/bend the steering arms to clear the wishbone (not always needed, talk to Joe).
The point is that ALL of it needs to be done correctly and all the components need to fit. Lastly once you drop the axle, the overall spindle-to-spindle width will be narrower, so you may need to cut and thread the tie-rod to handle the new length.
Not a big deal, but you have to consider the whole project . . . and all the pieces/parts that go on to your frontend. You want it safe and a pleasure to drive!
Good luck,
B&S
