hey yall!
i have my 1792 ford, at a stock ride height, it is a 2wd but I have a 3" lift I was given and I want to install it, but I was given springs from a 4x4 front suspension (and blocks in the back)...will it all bolt up? and if so..will the longet springs throw off the camber of my front tires because i have the twin I beam?
thanks!
PLEASE HELP!

Re: PLEASE HELP!
more than likely yes messing with spring length will mess your camber on a twin i beam set up... there was a post on here how to lift a 2 wheel drive but i can find it at the molment

Re: PLEASE HELP!
this longest spring you have. is it a aftermarket spring? is it a coil spring for the front? if so it goes on the passenger side. the aftermarket springs for the passenger side sometimes are longer instead of a stronger size around coil to make up for the offset engine weight. the camber can be reset if it is off by cold bending the i beams on the truck.
