The Ford Barn

I have a 4 bar and AirRide on the rear and i want to put the same thing on the front end. It has a 3" mooredrop axle with AirRide suspension and there isn't really enough room on the left side because of the steering bars. The inside of the frame is boxed in and there is a lot of room has anyone ever seen or heard of putting the 4 bar on the inside of the frame? It should still have plenty of width to hold the axle in place as the bars would only be a couple of inches closer to the center line of the frame. Back in 1952 when the old man Moore was just starting out i got the axle for my '34 sedan and now all of these years late the axle in this pickup came from the same shop and the old man was just retiring at that time. I talked to him in person both times and B.S.ed with him for a while. I don't remember if the shop was his or his father's at the earlier time?
