onsidering this purchase of a split but am not a fan in how it sits or the wheels tucked under. Since it's a straight axle would it be worth it to extend the axle and change the spindles back to stock? Shocks would also need to changed? Seems like a nice meaty front end. Plan would be to install disc up front if that matters
Is the rear a stock axle?

Thanks for any help

Narrowed beam. Not original.
If you buy it you could probably easily sell that one and buy a good used original beam if your plan is to being it up to stock height. There are plenty of disc kits for original beam/spindle set ups available.

X2 on custom beam. Not impressed with masking job on those spindles.

If you don’t like the stance, factor in buying a transaxle and a beam and installation..
And tires too, and possibly wheels

Is that tire low?

That is an expensive fully built beam.

Someone on the 'net will be looking to lower their bus and would love to trade with you

Find someone near you that will swap their front beam with you: facebook, instagram, thesamba
