Got it safety inspected then on the way home my dome light starting flickering, it was supposed to be off, also the 2 side dome light are no longer working. Any idea what would cause this?

I don't give a crap what my "owner" is doing today...I just wish he would take me out for a spin once in a while. I've been stuck in this garage since November because I heard him tell his buddies he doesn't want to get road salt on me. Then he goes and does all his running around in the 99'GMC - but wait, the 99'GMC is rusted out bad, so maybe being cuddled in here is just alright, zzzzzzzzzz.

There are 3 different ford suspensions that I know of.
IFS(independent front suspension): newest. 1997-NOW
TTB(twin traction beam):1980-1996 4wd, pretty sure 1980-1996 2wd was twin I beam.
Straight axle(pre 1980 4wd).
Straight axle is the easiest to lift. Taller springs, steering adjustments, good to go.
IFS is second easiest. It maintains camber better than TTB/TIB. Will require drop brackets to relocate that A-arms anything past 3".
TTB/TIB are a pain. I put a 2" leveling kit on and my camber is off horribly. And I hope I can find bushings to correct it. Anything past that requires drop brackets and some good alignment techs to make right.
Go look up diagrams on the front ends of these to understand what they are.
