re: spindle lift?
I have never seen any type of after market lifting Ibeam for our two wheel drive trucks, but then I have only been looking at ways to lower.

re: spindle lift?
About the only way of lifting the front end of a Twin I-beam truck using bolt-on parts is with a kit that uses rebent I-beams, like these from Autofab:

5-inch lift kit: http://www.autofab.com/5lift.htm

re: spindle lift?
I will be picking up a 72' crewcab (the green one in my icon) in a couple weeks so will be posting once again... this time keeping it 2wd just fix it up
alittle simpler. Still have the 95' F350 motor to put in it though. How youve been??

re: spindle lift?
zakt,
Hard to tell from the picture...
Is this a coil or leaf front suspension.
Got one guy here that's hard core against it but I know several that have done it sucessfully.
If the front is coil sprung, you can lower the spring towers and easily get another 2" of lift from it.
