I think the only other way to lift a 2wd other than a body lift would require heating and bending the I beam, and that could cause some serious problems if done wrong. I have never seen any lift spindles, but some one else might have seen somthing.

Check out Autofab. A little on the pricey side, but their lifts address all the geometry issues and you get what you pay for. Easy to do biz with. installed on my 79' and no complaints. Pics are in my gallery if you want to see what it would look like with their 3" econolift. Only front is lifted, gonna lift the rear later, good luck
