2WD Lift Kit for 1979 F150

I'm Looking for a 6" to 8" suspension lift for a 1979 Ford F150 2wd. I put one on my 82 F100 using BDS and superlift parts. However I can not locate a manufacturer for a 2wd lift for a 1979. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

I have posted this before, but nobody seems to know a whole lot about it. It is an Ibeam flip. Here's a pic

How did you bend the beams? With a sledge? I watched junkyard mega wars and they had a 2wd ford that the guys flipped the beams on, but then the tires really tipped bad. Ted

i used a set of anchors in my buddys shop, they were chains in the concrete and a port-o-power with some heat . most would use a press but i am cheap and dont have a press that it powerfull enough.
