Lowering model A

Don't forget there are a lot of cast aftermarket axles floating around. Henry's were all forged.


Forgings have a wide parting line because the dies do not make contact with each other. Castings have a very fine parting line because the molds fit tightly together so the molten metal doesn't run out..

That’s what I thought. Now is only someone will get them back in stock. I find used ones on eBay but that’s one thing I won’t play with.

Would you know if removing 3-4 leave in the rear spring would do much to get the back down? Don’t really want to invest in a complete new T spring and cross member.
Thanks, Greg
 
Years ago, when I asked how to lower the rear of my 31 p/u. Jim B. replied with the best answer, use a Model T rear spring. That what I did, brought the box down level.
