Lowering '78 ranger

Hey Boys and Girls, I have a '78 ranger/150 and I want to lower the front about 2". Ive heard about the kits but Ive heard that you can relocate the i-beam brackets up and there are the holes for it but Im worried about the clearance in the frame member.I would prefer to relocate the I-beams and get lowering springs but I think Im better off getting the kit but the cheaper the better.
Any sugestions or comments would be great.
