How do I achieve the perfect raked stance?

USE WHAT FITS BOTH YOUR EYE AND YOUR WALLET... HEIGHT CAN BE CHANGED BY THE SPRING MOUNTS, AXLE IS FOR LOOKS MOSTLY...

Yeah, that makes sense. OK so for all you guys who have been around t buckets for awhile, who makes a high quality front axle assembly? I just read a post on part failures . Scary stuff.So I want a high quality part.

Not a buddy or anything just know he builds quality parts.RPM is where I would go.

I have a 6" drop axle and mine has a pretty good rake to it. Just make sure you raise the engine/trans up and get more oil pan clearence, cut and raise the tunnel (atleast it would be needed in my 15 body). Take it from me.

I bought my MAS axle at a swap meet and did not realize until I got home with it that it was a 6" drop. I have a 4" axle I got from MAS (thats about the only good thing they have is HD axles) with CCR brackets but I like what I got now.

Hey that doesn't look like the bucket I saw in your garage.It is in one piece.

blownt, we may not agree on what constitutes a hot rod (my MPG comments) but you certaintly have one "bad-ass" ride. It looks like it can really haul butt.
