Be sure to ask if your dropped axle will be narrower than the stock axle as a result of being "dropped". Some dropped axles end up being narrower after dropping. This will increase your turning radius. Be sure to ask this question.
Some folks like the "narrowed" axle because it provides better fender/tire clearance and centers the tires under the fender. Magnum axles for 1940 Fords are narrower than stock by 3/4 in.
Remember the Ackerman Principle if YOU bend your stock steering arms.
