extended radius arms?

hello everyone, has anyone experienced with longer radius arms on their 67-72 f-100 4x4's. In dec or jan ill pry be taking off my rancho 4" lift and going with a variety of brands to get about 6 total inches of lift although a lot more amount of wheel travel. Im thinking BDS coils and track bar drop bracket, James Duff 7 degree bushings, and either Duff or Wild Horses extended radius arms and dual shock hoops modified for the f-100 frame. for my rear lift probably just 5" to 6" lift springs and custom dual shocks. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks FordFanStan

I was just reading up on the extended radius arms the other day. Depending on what you wanted your truck to do, I think it is the way to go for travel. I was looking at my 67 4x4 and there really isn't a whole lot of room to move. I think if you went with the radius are drop brackets, extended arms, and some sweet front springs you would have one wicked ride! You might be the only one in your area with this setup! How cool would that be! Then if you had the money/time/patience you might fab up a 4link for the rear! Post some pics if you decide to go for it!
