Hey everyone,
a few months ago I shared some images of a f100 project I purchased. I wanted to share with everyone the progress I have made. Thanks to my buddy who is a mechanic for all of his help.
Let me know now your thoughts and upgrades I should do next.
Lowering, look at DJM suspension for dream beams and rear axle flip or hangers and shackles if you want to stay with stock analog stuff. Beams lower 3", hangers/shackles 4" and a flip kit 5.5". Look also at fat man fabrication for a comprehensive rear axle flip kit. You will want to c-notch the frame and reinforce. Downside if you rebuild everything it will drive like a new truck from the 70s.
alternately look into the crown Vic front end swap which will lower 5" in the front and give you large disc brakes, rack and pinion steering and modern suspension. Downside is cutting, welding and fabwork required.
Thanks, I was looking in the dreambeams, I just wasn't sure how the look was going to be. I really want the truck to be leveled and low as I can get it. I do plan on getting some 20's for the truck. - I'm really influenced by Frankensteins truck.
that is beams and rear axle flip with the HD rear springs. Truck was like 3" higher in the rear before. If u have the lighter rear spring pack it will sit low in the back with an axle flip. Tires are 255/60-17
