6" Lift Without R/A Drop Brackets?
I'm looking for input from people who have done a 6" suspension lift without using radius arm drop brackets. I plan on getting some here soon but not before I put my truck on the road. I'm using 7* c-bushings for castor correction.
From those of you who have done this, what can I expect? Funky steering? Bump steer? Limited suspension drop? What else???
Any and all comments/reccomendations are welcome and eagerly anticipated!

Has anyone ever used "Castor Correctors"? You can check them out here---->http://www.offroaders.com/info/tech-...cj7-castor.htm
Does anyone know how much castor is built into the 77-79 F-150 Dana 44s?? I'm assuming not all D44s were made with the same castor.

For now I decided to squeeze my budget a little further and get some 4" drop brackets and use 4* bushings.
I appreciate the replies!!

I have seen some stock radius arms modified that would be virtually unbreakable, this was done by a high end fab shop though, an off the shelf radius like pro comp runs in the 300-500 dollar range I believe

Superlift has some, skyjacker does too. It was only another 200 bucks on mine for the extended arms.

Where are you guys finding these deals? Point me in the right direction!! It would be great to see them for under $500!! Bronco Graveyard wants $749 for theirs. I'm guessing the ones they're selling are Superlift.

Just so you know. I don't think you could even put the truck together with 6 inch springs and no drop brackets.
I lifted a 72 and my friend was not going to buy the brackets, untill he saw the way the springs where going to have to bend in the middle.
Just find a truck like yours with the 6 inch lift.
The longs raduis arms sound really nice.
