lowering questions
I'm new to the site so some of these questions might be asked every week. Sorry if this is a repeat. I recently got a 66 F100 swb. It has a "dream beam" suspension with disc brakes. I've never heard of it, is it like a mustang II suspension or is it just disk brakes on the stock suspension? The front seem to sit a little lower than stock. I was thinking about lowering a little more, should I just do drop spindles? Any suggestions? For the rear, would the easiest and cheapes way to drop it be by running the leaf springs under the axle or removing a spring? Thanks for any input.

gostros,
The 'dream beam' is a drop beam by DJM suspension http://www.djmsuspension.com/Product...5F100Parts.htm
and I've noticed that they are not quite as low as I'd like either.
As far as the back is concerned, DJM also makes parts to lower the rear. I've also read on a website somewhere that you can remove the leaf mounting brackets and flip them over and redrill holes while maintaining factory ride. I don't remember the site and/or the particulars but it said it was a 5" drop.
