Hi There, ive also got a 65 econoline pick up and I de arched the springs front and rear, looks great but is a little bouncy, want to upgrade the front shocks to adjustables, or what did you do? Thank you.
Rides good. I expected more bounce. I've hit the non-existant bump-stops a few times which is to say the frame =/ but that's expected around here. It dropped about 2-3 in. Still has the same shocks . As far as if its safe? Being an over cab with your legs as a crumple zone..safety and this vehicle are rarely are in the same sentence XP But it seems solid other wise.
May suggest using c-clamps when you loosen and tightening the center bolt.
Wow! And you did it Barefooted!

Jeff Martin Nothing. Just a set of gas mantics. 2 inches shorter.
Which 2 leafs did you remove?
I’m pretty sure he removed 2 and 4.
Thanks for the video...
How is the ride now, is it safe? How much lower did it get? What shocks did you use?
