Anyone have suspension/blower install exp?

[Unoid]

This winter x-mas break I'm planning on taking out the blower and intercooler for a cleaning and maybe polish/painting. I've acumulated some good resource son doing the job. Although is there anyone in the area whos done it that could help me out with questions etc?

Also this spring I'm hoping to get a western chasis drop kit isntalled.

I'm gonna go with the front lower a-arms for 2", and rear hangers + shackles for the 4" rear. I can always get front springs for antoehr 1" and I think I have another inch of play in the shackles. Brake bleeding and all those sall things I have exp at but I do have ford shop manual. and stayed at a holiday inn

Also does anyone have any experienced changing arms shocks, springs, shackles or hangers? I know hangers are gonna be the hardest part requiring some air tools which i'll get. I think I'll really need help with doing the drop, I'll have jack + stands in my 2car garage. I'd really like to do this isntall on my own with help if possible isntead of paying a ford dealership or speed shop 900$ to install a 600$ kit.

please let me know,
Steve.

Well since no replies I'm still gonna end up doing the drop install in a month or two hopefully.

Gonna take a lot of printing out directions from other people and lots of phonecalls,

Plus air tool investment + new jack+stands.

If anyone has any commentsor wants to be involved in my install process lemme know.

I am always up for helping people out, but I have no real experience or knowledge to provide.

Are you going to get it ported too? Might as well since you'll be taking it off.
