76 F100 level out

I am wanting to lower the rear of my 76 F100 so that the truck sits level. What are some of my options or easy ways to do this?

load your truck bed with concrete bags.....or take most of the leafs out of the pack....

how much did you want to spend?

You can always just do an axle flip, put the leaf springs on the under side of your axle...need to be able to weld but that would be easy and only cost about $100 for the kit and your time.
