1972 f100 droping the front

I could use some ideas on bagging the front of my truck. were kinda refusing to pay 600 bucks for drop I beams. Were gonna build the brackets and just drop it and see what hits and how low we get. I m not really wanting to lay rocker but the rear is sporting a mono leaf c-notch setup and is pretty damn low. I really just want the front to match. any thoughts?

you can bag the front but the Drop i beams is the only thing u can do to make it low. its bag on stock beams or lowered beams or new front suspention. i got the drop beams on mine and i had the beams bent for the camber to be right with slightly lower springs.

why not pay a couple hundred for a frame clip from say a Torino, or some GM clip with disc brakes and arms to put bags on easier than doing all that cutting on the Ibeam frame.

I clipped several F series starting back in about 1985. The clip can be installed over a 2 day weekend and bags and all that take very little extra work to put in the spring cups.

chevy clip it. fullsize frames are the exact same width/height. Z it up a couple inches for insurance and your golden. Just gotta do something with the steering. U joint maybe?

I'm working on this kit for 70-72 f100's.

how long before its ready?? If I have the ford still when I get the yota done I may want one

well you know how it is I changed it againand went with stock parts to keep cost down.Here is what i wanted to use but was going to cost more and take longer to build.

DO WORK!! That's sick. If you come up with a finished product let the world know.

BTW...not to jack a potentially good product thread but here's a way you could get that 72 down.

seen that crown vic setup I think it's great and I would use it any time but nothing beats a bolt on kit especialy
for these I beam trucks.

I agree totally. I've just been kind of partial to the idea since my 64 has an even more dated suspension than the I-beams.

BTW...I think your 68 would look nice in my driveway. LOL
