Seery is RIGHT! The axle does NOT move up in relation to the frame. Effectively, the tires and wheels are the only thing(s) that move UPWARD in relation to the rest of the car. Heard's '36 3-window with dropped axle below. Everything clears, but his does have the '37-'48 steering box. It's the shorter '36 box (higher Pitman arm location) that causes pan/drag link problems.
