Best way to lower a stock 56 F100 3 inches

I am looking to lower my stock 56 F100 about 3 inches. I am trying to decide between mono leaf, reverse eye stock or reverse eye and removing some leaf springs. I do not what to mess any drive train changes and would still like a somewhat smooth ride (if thats possbile with a stock 56). Looking for a better stance if possible. Thanks for any and all help!!

I would like to do the same thing with my 55 F-100, I just posted a day ago about monos and got a pretty good reply you might take a look at it.

I suggest reversed eye and remove every other leaf in the front, remove every other leaf and raise the hanger in the back or leave the hangers alone for a nose down rake.

OK you guys have convinced me to go with the reverse eye main and remove some leafs. My question is will this will mess the angles of my drive train (still original) and will any adjustments need to be made? I am looking to drop about 3-4 inches front and rear. Thanks Bing
