I-Beam Pivot Relocation

I've read on this forum about lowering these trucks with lowered beams and that's what I'd like to do, but would love to go a few inches lower than what lowered beams will give me. I know if I get lowered springs I'm going to mess up the camber and I've read that I can move the pivot location on the beam up to fix the camber problem. Has anyone done this and if so do you have any pictures of the process and what had to be done to the cross member for clearance and so forth? Also, if I were to buy a 2" lowered spring does that mean I would move the pivot hole up 2" basically just moving the whole setup the same amount on the pivot end and the spring end? Any insight is greatly appreciated!!

Food for thought...... What about the steering linkage angles?

Not really thought about that, but would have to get under the truck to see how much change there would be...
