get leaf springs from an older truck? I think the old F-350's (before they were SD's) had leaf springs with a negative arch on them... I have NO idea why you would want to lower a Super Duty, but its a possibility those older leaf springs may fit... but like someone else said, you will very likely be riding on the bumpstops with a 3" drop in front... the rear would be fairly simple, as you could remove the rear block, droping it 2", if you a 250... like others have said, you might be better off getting a 2wd truck, but your call ...

Arrgghhh. This pisses me off. Why is a truck a particular color, why is it gas or diesel, or supercab or regular cab.
For the most part because that is what the guy who owns it wants. There are a lot of reasons for having a four wheel drive with a lowered look.
Not all trucks go off road and need tons of ground clearance. Sometimes the road can be bad enough to need 4x4. How about those slimey boat ramps? Need tons of ground clearance there right?
Personally I think slammed dually's look pretty good. In fact I'm doing a customers truck next week. 5 inch drop in the back. It's dually and 4x4. But regardless of what I think looks good is the guy who bought the truck and is paying me to do the work.

actually I drive an Excursion don't like the gaps in the wheel wells don't go off roading seen some lowered Xs and think they look pretty damn cool. I like the look of lifted trucks on 35s also but I live in downtown atlanta ga and I already have to struggle not to roll over hondas and curbs. and if I lifted it I wouldn't be able to park her anywhere. as far as how low goes I'd like to go a few inches lower than a stock 2x4 but would settle for the stock 2x4 ride height. thanks guys

That is why, you have independent from suspension. I really think the hangup here is that there is only a few inches of clearance between the axle and frame to begin with up front, so without major surgury, it can't be done.
