I've been looking around trying to get info on lowering my 62' Ford F100. Can you switch the front springs without having to do anything to the steering?

 

I have a 62 also and have done research on this topic. Many ways to lower, it all depends on how low you want to go and how much you want to spend. Several companies make kits to lower it a little with standard suspensions, a little modifications on some components. I chose to put an mustang II IFS with standard spindles on the front and a 4-link on the back allowing me to get within 3 inches of the road. With air bags I can move it up and down depending on the stance I want. Decide what you want and go for it!

 

The spring flip is the one im planning on doing one day when I get some free time and the truck actually runs for atleast 6 months with no problems. Should drop it 3-4 inches. Check out mattilac's blue 64, most deffinantly one of my favorite stances I've seen

I've got a 64 and was doing research one it before. 61-64 should all be the same because they have straight axles and leaf springs
