Pretty standard deal done by hundreds (thousands?) of rodders over the rears. Basically just parts replacement for the axle, spring, and shocks. The steering arms will need modification for the tie rod to clear the front yoke. You might need some help getting the perch bolts out, they can be in there very tough. Don't try beating them out, probably after you've soaked it with penetrating oil. You'll ruin the perch bolt, and frustrate the hell out of yourself. The best thing to do is use a 30,000 (give or take)# press. Wear safety equipment.
Between the spring and axle you'll get approximately a 3" drop, not exactly "In-da-dirt", but better than you've got now.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
