bushings

what would be easier? getting ready to put a 78 dana 44 into my 94 F-150. My 94 has a 6 inch kit in it already, and was going to keep the same springs. Would it be easier to put in offset bushings into the radius arms to correct the pinion angle, or fab up some drop down brackets. Also, if I went with some bushings, what size should I get? Thanks!

I would fab up the radius arm mounts, theres a guy around here that went with the bushings and unless he messed up on simething, it didn't turn out all that great.

If you go with just the bushings, you will be losing some articulation of your radius arms. Also, can the bushings make up for 6" of lift by themselves? I'd seriously consider the drop downs.
