What do YOU think I should do?
Should I lower my truck or not? I've debated on lowering my truck since I got it. I kinda like the stock stance I have now, but I was thinking I may just level the back out with the front, not sure yet. What do YOU think I should do? As it sits now:
It looks level in this pic, but it's not on level ground:

put a leveling kit in the front so it rides level. unless your gonna make it into a hot rod or a drag truck dont lower it. it looks like its in pretty great condition now. just level the front out. dont lower it!!

Thanks for all the replies guys! I like the idea of lowering my truck, but I know for a fact it may be a lot of $$$$ which I don't have at the moment lol. But I love the look of a lowered Dentside, just not sure yet I want to do it to mine though.

Yeah that's what I may do more than likely. I know this is a stupid question, but would I just get lowering leaf springs or can I just take the blocks out of the leaf springs? Thanks for the compliment btw!

Well yeah considering it's the only pickup truck my immediate family has, I probably would use it one way or the other. Both my parents drive T***** suvs unfortunately.

the easiest way i have found to level out the rears is to the djm shackle kit that lowers the rear 2inchs. u get to keep ur current leaf setup so hauling stuff should not be a issue. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DJM-SH1014-2/Application/?query=Year|1976|Make|FORD|Model|F-150+PICKUP&prefilter=1 not a bad price for $50 bucks to level out the rear. eventually ill do a 3/5 drop on mine after paint

that sure is one nice truck you got there it deserves the best i would put it on bag's ..so you can choose your ride height and there's a-lot of kits out there to make life a little easier. on top of that powerblock tv trucks did something similar with a chebby..very impressive.
