1970 f100 2wd 4in lift questions

I purchased a 4 inch lift for my 1970 f100 2wd and I’m looking for help trying to make an ibeam drop bracket. What do I have to take into account for measurements and travel I just want to have stock travel. I’m building a pavement princess and don’t want to pay the 1500 dollars for a full kit any help on how I could build this bracket?
This is what it looks like from the front I don’t know if this helps or not.

I guess the really simple answer is to drop them 4" to match the lift? I would drop the beam and position it so the wheel chamber is straight and measure how far the drop is.
