You will need to clip the front of the truck. I had a 54 dodge truck years ago and I tried doing a flip on the front axle and it did not work Puts the axle to close to the frame, steering gear/column problems, etc. Being low on funds I pulled a couple leafs out of the front and it rode horrible. Looked better though. A Volare front clip works well, the guy i sold it to put a Volare front clip on the truck I had and it worked well.
