You can get mono leaf springs from several companies for both front and rear.

A 64 ford truck should be very easy to lower mono leafs would be a very good idea since a 64 has a staight axel .

I have de-arched springs and reversed eyes, may switch to monoleafs in the future. https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...=37831&width=2

Looks good, how much suspension travel do you have up front?

I only have a couple of inches, right now I dont have the bumpstops on, normal driving is fine and some sharp bumps it can handle, but a nice dip will make it smack the frame. The rear seems fine so I may just go for the monoleafs on the front.
