Lowering frontend.
 
Anyone know what would be involved in lowering front end on a 1980 Ford F100.Can it be done and how much work involved.(Without subframing)Thanks.

If it was me, I'd look for some after market dropped spindles. With the dual I Beam type suspension, you would run into camber problems if you drop it any other way.

on ford i-beams you will need to go to aftermarket drop i-beams..go to AIM INDUSTRIES 1-800-289-9980 they gave me best prise on my drop i-beams for a ford one ton dulley i slamed to the ground.
