1965-1966 drop kit

Hey, who out there makes a quality drop kit for a 1965-66 F100? I have a 66 f100 short box and i was thinking about lowering it about four inches front and rear. I don't have a lot of money to do this, so retaining the twin i-beam setup is a must. Something along the relms of a set of drop spindles up front would be sufficient and a over/under spring axle swap kit for the back . What do you guys think?

cut 2-2 1/2 links out of your springs(free) then have a local alignment shop (oldest you can find as they should still have the tool to do this)and have them cold bend your beams so camber will be correct.(about $100) then buy some spring perches off e-bay($20) and have someone weld them on the underside of your axle and flip it. cheapest way to get 4" drop!
