Don't think about this as dropping the axle. That isn't what's happening. By flattening the front spring, what you actually do is raise the axle relative to the chassis. But to preserve the radius arm geometry, what you need to do is keep the radius arm at its original angle. You can do this by drop links at the front end, or by raising the rear ( which will prove difficult)

Ah....this sounds logical now, I think I'd forgotten that the whole purpose of lowering the radius arms is that they are closer to the chassis by virtue of eventually lowering the spring once one has removed leaves.

I'm probably "over" thinking about it without actually practically trying it all out first....maybe, over excitement and frustration over not getting immediately stuck into it!

Many thanks.
