Re: reversed eye spring
A reverse eye spring will give about 1" drop from a like-new spring. Not much for the effort, unless you want to drop the front significantly and use a dropped axel as well.

Re: reversed eye spring
If you use a dropped axle you will probably need to use dropped steering arms also.

Re: reversed eye spring
You don't need to buy the complete spring. You can just buy the reversed eye main leaf and use the rest of your spring. Sacramento Vintage Ford used to carry the reversed main leaf.
