new/longer I-beams?
i got some new coils for my 67 f100 2wd, they lifted the front 4" but my tires are tilted in towards the truck at the front beucase of how long the new coils are. Do i need new I-beams? or do i need to bend them?

Have a pro do the work. I wouldn't bend any forged suspension parts with a torch unless you REALLY knew what you were doing, and then technically they should be stress relieved when you're done, something the average guy isn't going to be able to do. There are probably complete axles designed for raised trucks, might check them out. Alternately, unless you really want the truck raised, might try sourcing the correct springs for the truck.
The drop mounts move the non-wheel end of the axle down, to level the axle back out and line the wheels up right.
