Dropping the truck an inch or so.

[Fo-Mo-Co]

This is how it sits today. I want to lower it an inch all around. I know I can cut the front coil but in the rear I have the ford factory overload spring bracket thing. Not real sure what it is. Can I just flip the front hanger or will that be more than an inch drop?

That's a nice looking truck! Consider leaving it the way it is!

I'm not sure about the rear overload spring bracket. But I think I'm going with Crown 2 inch lowering springs in the front and have the beams bent to correct the camber. Then use spring hangers or shackles to lower the rear 2-3 inches. That's about as much drop as I want.

You can move and or flip your hangers to drop it an inch.

Where did you get the springs for $35?

[Craigerf100]

When I bought mine I found them on clearance for $24. And at the time I made the thread on the install they were going for $35 (Have u read the thread yet?) right now they are $50

Looks like a few people have bought the springs to do the conversion
I'd look on eBay, Amazon, and some of the other rock auto type sites too.
