i wanna drop my truck from the front i have a 57 f100 with leaf springs up front a friend of mine told me to pull out some leafs and that should drop it but i started wondering if that would put to much stress on the rest of the leafs left another friend of mine has a 63 van with the same suspension as my truck and he had his van dropped what they did was unbolt the leafsprings and they put them underneath the axle and bolted the u-bolts back on everything seems fine he dosent complain about the ride and says he hasent encountered any problems would you guys recommend i do that is it safe also i know you can get dropped axles but due to money issues im tring to do everything the safe non expensive way what would you guys recomend

FORD IS LIFE OIL N GAS IS MY BLOOD
