well, i talket to this old guy here in reno who has a repair shop and has a few 50's ford pickups. he told me that it just wouldnt work, because it wound end up with tons of neg. camber that you couldnt fix. i decided to cut about 1 1/2 coils off the springs instead--i know that'll work. honestly though, i still want to try it, because i think its possible to make it work. so, go for it if you want and please tell me ifit works well, but i went for the quicker lowering job that i was sure about.
good luck !
