Heck, if you're going to lower it you should check into using the front suspension from the '03-'08 Crown Vic. It gets you big brakes, rack & pinion and it's almost a bolt on for the '61-79 F100's. Plus they can be bought for less than Dream Beams. Not sure how different yours is from those trucks but it's worth looking at. Do a Crown Vic search on http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/index.php
