Lowering question.
Hey guys,
I'm looking at a '70 F-250 on Ebay and was curious who makes lowering kits for these trucks? What about disc brake conversions?

Thanks guys!
Matt

I just checked the JDM website and they have drop beams for the F150 in my year, but I couldn't find anything for the 250. Would the 150 beams work for the 250?

Thanks,
Matt

if you check my build thread (71 f100 build pics) i used djm 3" dream beams, 4" shackle/hanger. I also used a disc conversion kit from a place that is not a sponsor of this site. If i had to do it over i would find junkyard parts and refurbish them myself.
