52 f1

Hey gang, I have a 52 F1 that I got from an old rancher out of his barn. Mint body,just got it painted red and got a dropped axle for it. I'm looking at the front springs and noticed they are eight leaf. Can the bottom three be taken out since the axle is underneath to lower another inch? Anyone tried this? Any easy way to lower the rear two? Thanks, Rich

First off, welcome to FTE.
We love pictures, we would love to see what you are doing with your truck.

I'm not an expert, but I believe that folks generally take out every other leaf to lower it.

Here is a thread on the subject:
