There are no such things as "lowering springs" that work with twin I-Beam steering geometry that I have ever seen, although people will gladly sell you stuff they claim will "work".

Promoting others without mentioning FTE sponsors is unfair.
If FTE didn't have sponsors, there would be no FTE.
lmc is NOT an FTE sponsor.

But, I've never heard of lowering springs, as FordBoyPete said, you don't want to do this.
The Twin I Beam suspension has to have the correct springs by load rate and vehicle application. Otherwise the geometry will be way off. Just installing stock F250 springs in a F100 will create a nightmare.

I had a 72 with a 360 and installed springs from a 67 with a 240. The V8 springs are a little stronger. The springs only dropped the front just barely over an inch which gave the look I wanted. With that small of a drop I did'nt have any problems with tire wear or that goofy look of my tires bowing out at the bottom. If you heat, cut, or get shorter springs you WILL have to get the beams bent at an alignment shop. $$$. If you are wanting a 2" or 3" drop, they may not be able to adjust that much out. Better check with a local shop first.
