Thumbs up i-beam question

my truck has the bigblock springs and i-beams from a 390 parts truck my truck came with 302 beams and springs,my question is are there any difference between these or didi all f-100s come with same beams

my truck has a 460 in it now and i was wondering if i changed back to the 302 beams and springs could i lower my truck some that way without much problems

The beam's are the same,but the spring's are probaly rated for the weight of a big block,and being the 302 is lighter it will lift your front a little.Not mutch at all if any if there old spring's.
