Please any TIPS!?!?!?!?

Hi, Im a new member although i have looked on this site to do various projects on my truck. I have a 1992 f150 and am planning on lowering it tomorow. I got a 3/5 drop kit from djm. The rear is pretty self explanitory, but the front gives me concern. I bought new ball joints and are getting them pressed into my beams today. Is there anybody who has done this to their truck and has any helpful hints???? The twin i beam set up confuses me a little bit as in the order i should start taking things apart.

Start at the outside and work your way in: tires, brakes, rotors, spindles, axles, knuckles, then the beams themselves.

Whats under pressure??

After i get the rotors off, there are the spindles, shocks, springs and beams holding everything in place. What should come off? Should the spring stay atached? Do i have to undo the radius arms?

Man, I hate to be rude, but you really need to get a service manual with pictures, diagrams, and torque values. In all reality, the kit you purchased should have come with some instructions. If you don't have access to a manual, AutoZone has free online manuals that you can get and print pages off so you can have them with you.
