How to lower a 55 F100

Hey from downunder. I'm loking at lowering my 55 F100 I recently shipped from South Carolina to Australia and I was wondering if anyone had some basic tips on how to DIY lower your truck. Thank you

There are a few ideas in the Tech Articles on this site

53-79 F-Series Steering & Suspension .: Articles

Like flipping axle, removing some leaf springs, etc...... or you can just flatten all the tires but that really reduces mileage and driveability
