    Just got a real clean '56 F100. Stock suspention. I want to lower it. Not bags or a clip. I have seen Mono leaf springs with reverse eyes that say they will lower it 5" inches. I also have seen a Dropped axle. What are the suggestions? What have you with Effie's done?

    thanks

    After you drop the front, the easiest/cheapest way to drop the rear is to move the front spring hangers. Torch or air chisel the rivets off, move the spring hanger to the top of the frame and weld it. It`ll drop the rear about 2".
