Just arrived

Post by hbpaint »

Hello All

New here just want to get this thing going. Picked up a 1970 F100 and would like to get it set up my way. I have some questions on suspension. I want to lower it and im going to getting the drop I-Beam for the front. Is there a replacement spring i can put in there that will lower it another inch or two, with out sacrificing the ride (that much).
