Help Me Go Lower
Hey all this is short and sweet for me that is. I want to know how to go lower. I already have the drop ibeams in the front which gave me 3" and I took out this piece under my front springs which gave me about another inch. Please dont suggest airbags there just too expensive. The rear is really no problem because I can just put more blocks on the leaf springs. Thanks all

I don't think you can get drop spindles, thats the purpose of the beams.
Anything past the 4 inches you've already achieved is going to be complicated and expensive.
Plus you already have the 2nd best looking truck on this site, why change it??

Are your shocks stock length? Are the bottomed out? The shocks won't keep ya from going lower unless they're bottomed out. Did you put shorter springs on?

There may be enough adjustment left to allow you to drop it another 1-2". You would need to consult an alignment shop to confirm whether you have additional camber adjustment left.
I've seen references to drop spindles for these trucks, so I'm sure *someone* offers them. Since I'm not really "into" lowering trucks, I don't have any info about parts or sources. I respect a properly lowered vehicle for what it is, a statement of individuality.
My RX7 is dropped about 1.5" front and 2" rear thru the use of Ground Control coilover front, and special GC Eibach rear springs. It wasn't done just for looks, it was done to improve handling, which it has done nicely.

I really don't think anyone makes them. Maybe they did back in the day, but now the only Drop spindles you see for Fords in 1997 or later F150 or 1998 later Rangers. Which coincidentally is when both went away from Twin I beam front ends.

Yes, because what Festus is recommending would allow you the shortest possible coil springs.
