3 inch Lowering Springs OBS Bullnose F-150 1980-1986

[@Madjoe20]

I thought the bushings to fix the camber are only available for the ball joint suspension would the adjustable camber/caster bushings fit a kingpin ?

[@Madjoe20]

Also sick truck and I love the channel name

[@3lP3RR0Mu3Rto]

Can we get an update on what part you used. The link is broken

[@Ua7s-my8ev]

Is it the same for the 82 f-100

[@pibe8761]

Looking great man! I have a 1980 F100 stepside and everyone keeps telling me to get front beams to drop it, but very pricey. Can i install these same springs without issues? Thank you

[@FloridaCrackerKustoms]

Yes you can

[@zaneherrington8868]

@@FloridaCrackerKustomsis the camber way out of alignment? That’s what I keep reading about using springs instead of beams that when you get an alignment, the camber is too far off to adjust and the tires wear. This is for a 94 and it’s upper ball joint has some weird shim insert for camber adjustment. Not caster/camber bolt to adjust.

[@TheSandman2016]

How's the ride with the drop springs? Trying to decide between doing this and going with the DJM Dream Beams. If the ride is decent with these, might just go this route and save quite a bit of money.

[@FloridaCrackerKustoms]

Rides great not much difference from stock

[@eddieboy9349]

Those rims are nice

[@FloridaCrackerKustoms]

Thank you 🤙🏻

how boss man, any chance you can post an updated link to the springs?

[@kinggodzilla5883]

Hey boss I have search up and down nobody seems to have a video of how to lower the spare tire on a bullnose truck can you please make a video if you can I would appreciate it

[@FloridaCrackerKustoms]

I’ve never owned a bullnose that still had a spare tire under it lol You pose a good question/comment.

[@michaelwikoff6081]

It looks good. I'm going to drop my 84 Ford. Are those wheels and tires the stock 15s? Or 16"

[@FloridaCrackerKustoms]

They aren’t stocks. They are 16x10s.

[@michaelwikoff6081]

@@FloridaCrackerKustoms thanks so much for answering. I've been debating on going with 15s or 16s. Your truck looks awesome.

[@FloridaCrackerKustoms]

@@michaelwikoff6081 I appreciate it! Good luck with your truck.

[@JackSpeed]

Are you still able to maintain proper alignment? Everyone says that coils only u can't properly align. Will the adjustable caster fix that?

[@FloridaCrackerKustoms]

You can maintain proper alignment. Don’t believe them lol

[@michaelreifschneider7489]

@@FloridaCrackerKustoms I had the same question. Were you abel to fix the alinement problem with only using adjustible ball joints or did you need to do more? Great video btw.

[@jovanyperez7658]

@florida cracker custom did u change shocks u go lower shocks or did u keep the same shocks?

[@iansnow6722]

So I was looking to do this to my truck but mines a 2wd f250 3/4 ton will this kit work for my truck or is springs and running gear different? I’m sure it is but I was just curious haha

[@FloridaCrackerKustoms]

Your springs are a lot more heavy duty then these, i doubt these would work if you have a big block or diesel in your truck. If you can’t find a kit you could always lower it the old school way a heat the springs up so they settle a couple inches.

[@iansnow6722]

@@FloridaCrackerKustoms that’s kinda what I figured haha thank you for answering my question I have the diesel as well I’m going to look around for a kit and if I can’t find I’ll heat them haha

[@FloridaCrackerKustoms]

@@iansnow6722 You also could try some stock f150 springs, they maybe be shorter then stock F250 springs. Make a video if you figure something out, I’ve been wanting to slam a 7.3 f-250z

Great install video not sure I missed it but did you powder coat them blue or did they come that way bc it just shows black.

[@FloridaCrackerKustoms]

They came that way.

[@d.collier_8280]

How did you correct camber/caster after doing the drop?? I am very interested in knowing. Getting ready to do my 85.

[@FloridaCrackerKustoms]

I Just turned the caster/camber nut till I got it looking level…. Any alignment shop can do it though.

[@GerdauZach]

What’s the tire size on that ol girl

What wheel and tire size are you running? And are you using the stock shocks (front and back)?

I’m running stock shocks all around and wheels are 16s can’t remember tire size off the top of my head.

Thanks man 🙏

[@drunkingsailor2359]

Bullnose and bricknose apply to the early yrs stop with the putting your older years in wrong designation.

[@FloridaCrackerKustoms]

Bullnose 80-86, 87-91 Bricknose, & 92-96 Aeronose. They are all considered OBS Fords, according to my research.

[@kevdaceo]

​@@FloridaCrackerKustoms Correct

[@adventurevehiculist]

He called it a bullnose. And it is a bullnose. Earlier years were bumpsides, dentsides, etc. Later years were bricknose , aeronose..

[@drunkingsailor2359]

Sorry obs, only applies to 92-96

[@FloridaCrackerKustoms]

OBS encompasses all Ford trucks 96 and older. The 92-96 are actually called Aeronose.
