    These are poor quality pics, but here is a suicide front end i'll be welding into place today. The jig holds the front axle at ride height, the frame is at ride height above the work fixture. There is a sweep in the frame as well, about 3 1/2" at the front spring crossmember. The front axle is stock - no need to 'drop' it, the front end cannot safely go any lower.
    The frame ends have yet to be trimmed and finished.

    The point is that with the 'suicide' style front end you don't need a dropped axle - it is either/or
