Fabtech 2wd front lift I'beams & cont arm F/S

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this...

I came across a Fabtech front suspension, includes the spindles, rotors & calipers... I picked it up cheap, it was pulled off a 80's something 2wd... the guy I got it from said the owner converted it to 4x4... Anyway, I got it thinking I would modify it to make drob beams for my 66 and use the newer ball joint spindles and disc brakes... but then I picked up a 79 donor that makes it easier to convert to P/S & disc brakes...

So I have this suspension if someone want to lift a 2wd and make a Prerunner truck...

I'll pass on the great deal I got for the stuff... $200 for all

I don't know? I never seen it on a truck... I'f I was to guess, 4 inches... A 2 inch would be able to do with just springs...

i have heard that just using springs will throw off the camber. so in order to correct camber you would need camber bushings, radius arm drop brackets, or I-beam drop brackets, so i figure i would have to get the whole lift kit if i wanted i properly level the truck.

From what I understand, these I-beams & radius arms is the lift kit, they correct the camber issues... and they have adjusters for the balljoints. maybe longer coil springs???

I put picture up in the classified section, take a look...
