Was wondering if anyone knew of a good way (around 500-800$) to lower a '78 F-150. Mine has the stock suspension and I want to lower it. Almost to scrape but about an inch and a half off of the ground. I know I'll probably have to but my box fenders out for the wheels to fit, not sure what I'll need to do for the front wheels. Was wondering if some way I could cut the springs myself or if there's a decent kit out there for under 1,000$?
