front shackles

Hi all,
I have a 1996 f250 and want to do a shackle lift to the front end nothing to radical just an innch or so so i can fit some 285's in there. I have seen many products for the superduty's but I cant find any for my era truck. I did find a link where someone built their own but I was a moron and didnt save the link. Has anyone done this to the older f250/350's or no where I can purchase them.

I had 285/75/16 BF's AT on my 1995 F-250, I spaced the front bumper out to clear the tires when I was turning (on stock rims). It was around 1999 when I did it so can't remember how far it was but it was like 1/2 an inch. I had to run them soft so the whole face of the tire was on the road, 40-45 psi and would increase the backs when I had weight on.
