Lowering 53 F1

Looking to lower my 53 ford F1. What's an easy cheap way to lower it roughly 2-3"? I'm possibly looking into bagging the truck eventually after I get it all fixed up. That's last on the list. Just like to lower it for now. Is there a way to just take out leafs or flip mounts? Or wats a reasonably priced front and rear kit? Like I said I don't want to stick a ton in it till I decide if I'm going to bag it. This is my first experience with an old F1 or lowering any vehicle. Need some help....

And if it's a 53 it's a F-100

I am going with the jag. If you rubber mount it its almost a bolt in. They are cheap at a u-pull, fix only the most need repairs as brakes tierod e

nds rack boots. after its on the road you can rebuild it later. It also has coil springs so it is bag friendly. Good luck with your project.

Ps. there are a lots of thread on its installation.

I'll just google lowering options for my truck. Not a big deal, I'm brand new to F100 trucks just looking for a good forum to find some help. Couldn't find anything on here when I searched lowering, that's why I created a Post.
56 panel thanks for that. Truck is 52 on 53 chassis that's why I called it a F1. My mistake man thanks for that help.....
