I'll check them out thanks. I'm still really interested in that Ibeam flip. A few years ago a off-road mag did a story about some guys in florida that do this mod and put 44's on them and mud the heck out of them, I'd really like to know about this mod!

Several have tried the beam flip. AFAIK it does not work. Nobody has come back with working results. Try Autofab etc.

not interested in an ibeam flip looks like droping the ibeam braket would be cheaper than autofabs lift kit. not every one has 700 laying around. wish i did though cause what they offer looks good. there has to be a way to fab something on our own. there are too many 2wd lift questions that someone has had to try something that worked. hard work is nothing to do if its what you want to do. looks like it would be simple enough to fab something.

Well I know its not a suspension lift but right now I'm in the process of putting a 3 inch body lift on my 73 F-100 2X4 so I can put on 32 inch tires. Everything was meant for a 86 Dodge 4X4 I trashed but my Ford Tech buddy is helping me retro fit it.

Little ball up there, is it a weak point?

I had an article on it, but I'm 1,000 miles away from my stash of magazines, so I don't have the leasure of browsing through them.
My main worry with the tactic though is the end pivot of the eye beam, is that something to wory about? It'd mount upside down, and I'm not sure if that would add extra stress or not.
