F350 beam question

I'm thinking of getting my 69 F350 up outta the weeds a little, with longer springs, bigger tyres, and maybe a body lift.
I think I read somewhere, sometime that the front I beams could be flipped over for some extra clearance.
Can anyone confirm or debunk this, and provide any further info.

Thanks
