Edit--Barry's post is now in the proper forum...thanks to the Moderator(s) for moving it here.

Barry, it is usually helpful to state the post topic in its title. Instead of "some help" use a title like "need help lowering a 1950 Ford pickup"

Thanks,
George

Why would we be discussing 2020 Broncos on a F100 forum?

I went with a 8.8 rear axle and remounted the spring mounts. And Posies super slide 2 leaf springs on the front it lowered my 50 by about 3"

While I would agree with you that we shoudn't be discussing 2020 Broncos here, this owner is asking about a '50.

Later!

Mr. Ed
This is not worth a lot of explanation but this post was originally made on the 2020 Bronco forum and moderators have moved it here. The issue is that the 2020 Bronco forum was not a good place for a discussion on a '50 Ford pickup, with a post entitled "Some Help".... It's all good now.

I used an MII front crossmember with standard spindles and 2001 Explorer rear, Nissan Pathfinder rear leafs, under axle. I have 4-5 inches of drop.

Stock height with suspension upgrades would have been my preference.
