Thanks everyone for the great info in this thread

has any one put the front and rear axles on top of the springs to get them real low????

and does anything get in the way to do this? thanks, Ron...



Ron, I just read this thread...yes, I put flipped both the front and back axles to lower my Deora replica. No issues other than a bit of welding.

How were you able to mount the spring on the front axle?
It's got a pad for the spring to rest on. Did you weld a pad to the forged axle?
I have followed your build and enjoy the progress. However, IIRC, the wheelwells and door section was modified before you did the axle work. I'm curious if an axle flip would work on an otherwise stock vehicle.

Ron, Yes, I welded pads (actually boxed sections) to the front axle. I debated this course of action with several knowledgable welders, most of whom agreed with my plan. If it was a cast-steel piece it would have been a no-go.
As far as clearance for travel, you should be fine.
