for what truck, how much drop? You've got to give a little bit more information that you need drop brackets. i'm sure a ebay or google search would yield quite a bit.

\I wouldn't go too cheap - you get what you pay for. Considering the I-beams are what hold the front wheels on, I'd be looking for the most expensive ones I could find.

There's no way to flip the i-beams. Just pick up a set of drop brackets from superlift or one of the other reputable lift makers. You might get lucky at a junkyard, but I wouldn't count on it.

I might have some available in the new year. I beleive the 88 and 96 are the same. They are 6" radius arm drop brackets from Superlift. I will send you a PM once I get them off and see if you are still interested.

switching the I-beams will not work--you need some drop brackets
