    Being able to lift the tag axle is great when its slippery as you get more weight on the drive thus more traction. You will have less tire wear as you have one axle less to drag around the corners and of course better MPG.

    I OTE=lastgoodusername;3828099]I converted my truck to a single drive with a lift about 4 years ago. Love it. removed entire front axle and replaced it with a drop center trailer axle. manual lift on the axle. I did the conversion myself.[/QUOTE]

    how much drop do you have on your lIft axle and how much Clearances do you have between the axle and the drive shaft?
