1973 f100... what to do?
I just purchased a truck to build with my 11 yr old son. 1973 short base f100. I bought with intentions of doing a crown vic swap/ lower. When we go to pick up the truck I find out that it's all original, all paperwork and window stickers came with it. It is automatic with power steering, power brakes, 302 with only 30,000 miles... runs great. So now I don't want to change much. Lower, clean up the engine compartment, redo interior, and lower. Please give ideas on how to lower, (like the vic swaps) without butchering the truck. I'm new to the forum so thanks to all and I hope to talk to more of you in the future.

4" flip kit
Hello i have a 2016 regular cab and was wondering if it was possible to install a 4" fllip kit from a 2013 or 2014 ? Since belltech and djm dont make a 4" flip kit and i think 6" and 5.5" is a lil to low for me

I'm new here, Not sure on how this all works yet.
I recently bout a 2010 fx4 w/ 275 55 20 wheel & tires. DJM & BELL TECH both say a 3in front drop is to much for a 4x4 due to pressure on CV joints. I know this maybe over kill but I"m wondering about a 4/6 drop on my Fx4.
I pics. I've seen of the 3/6 look GREAT, I will be happy with the 3/6.
Thanks for your time.
