My humble opinion, and its just an opinion, is that on a truck like yours, I would not want to put anything closer to the ground than I had to.
MY thought would be to use extended radius arms and just move your bracket back on the frame.
runa search on this and you will find a lot of write-ups on doing this yourself, or there are a lot of places to purchase the arms from.
I saw a write-up from one site where he biult his own and did a tech article on it, but after 1/2 hr of searching, I can't locate it.
I want to think it was in a full size bronco forum, but I can't be sure.
look into this as an option, you might come to agree with me.

re: dropping the radius arm
Thanks for info, Extended radius arms are only longer correct? I need to make it so my i-beams and everything up front is straight up and down, everything is cocked because the radius arms are at such an angle. I was also looking at the prices on some radius arms a long time ago, 400+ dollars!! Moving the bracket back on my frame would cause this problem to be worse, in my mind, if I do it with the stock arms. Im still thinking on what I want to do now.
edit: I think I found the anwser, I hope.... these radius arm extensions make your arms 10.5" longer, ill get more flex, and it will solve the problem when I move the bracket farther back.. here they are http://www.bentandtwisted.com/catalog/p ... cts_id=881
alot of people are saying they are awesome, and they do hard off roading with these things also, I wont be doing hardcore off roading much, so It will work out well. Here is a picture of some on a guys truck http://www.supermotors.org/clubs/superf ... larm05.jpg
