1973 F250 Lowering

[AlltheKingsMen38]

I want a sleek shop truck look on my F250 so lowering it is on my list of things to do. However, I have not been able to locate anything for this model year. As far as I can tell, the front suspension is the same as my dad's '68 F1 with the exception of the brakes, and the kits are plentiful for his model year. Are the kits compatible? I hear that I can use a Crown Vic front suspension, anyone heard of this? I only want to take her down by 3" in the front. By the way, Cutting the springs is out of the question.

Airbag.com is about the only I know of that offers lowering systems/parts for F250s.

Crown Vic? Sure.... READ UP. But I think you're starting out with the "wrong truck". More suited for half-tons cuz yer gonna have to change the rear axle.

Airbagit does a kit for dropped beams for the f250 which is a 3 inch drop. I used these components and also cut 1 coil out of the springs for a 4.5 inch drop. In the rear I used the Airbagit axel flip kit and c notch which levels the truck with a 6 inch drop.
