f150 i beams
i got into an accident recently, and my driver side i beam is bent now. i figured since i'll need a new one anyways i might as well level the front while i'm at it. i don't need a whole lot of lift, probably 2 inches at most. could i use a spacer just fine with it or is there a better way to go about it.
mine is a 79 f150 2wd, i know ford has used the i beam front suspension for a good while, so what year range would work with my truck? the i beams seem like they would be quite heavy as well, what would be a good way to remove them?

The correct way to lift the front of these trucks is with correctly bent I-beams and corrected steering links. Contact Autofab.
IIRC, 75-79 will swap. .. I recommend reading up on I-beams and swapping.. links in the Tech Info Compilation.
