Just put a 5.5inch super lift with super runner kit on my 93 super cab. My camber is horrible / \ . I have not taken it to the alignment shop yet. Is this something I am going to have to start drinking over again or is this something new camber bushings can fix? Any advise is greatly appreciated.

you'll probably need new camber bushings, but it should be fixable.

if the shop cant get the camber into specs, you'll probably have to use the upper hole on the lift brackets.

Why spacers under the springs? Is that to increase your ride hieght back up to 5.5? Where did you get them and how big did you go? Thanks

Yeah my truck is a ext cab 4.0. I went down and got spring spacers they go in the coils they are 1.5 inch metal blocks. They where about $7 for 4 of them. I hate the things but I wasn't 100% sure that more lift would fix my problem, so I didn't want to pull my springs again . but that seems to have fixed my problem so this week I'm going to pull my springs and put spacers under my springs. Hope that helps I know I was kinda pissed after I spent all the time doing the lift and saw the camber / \ and couldn't drive my truck!!

Have you tried to contact Super lift to see what they say ? I am going to call them tomorrow and ask them what they recommend. Or do you think this is a waste of time? I will keep you informed of what I find out, it might help both of us. Thanks again

I have a 5.5 Superlift on my BII with a 4.0, My camber is still a little positive \ / and it's been over a year.... Maybe you got the 4 inch lift coils therefore needing to use the upper hole on the brackets making it a 4 inch lift rather than 5.5....

It could be I ordered 1 thing and got something else. It does look cool sitting that high I hope it works out. I contacted Super lift with a question I had about my super runner kit when I installed it. They came back with a quick answer. I hope they are the same way with this problem. Thanks for your suggestions

Well, I called Super lift and Marty there said to move my TTB to the upper holes in the lift brackets. He stated these hole are just for alignment purposes. He also stated another way to fix this is to put spacers under the springs. He stated it should not be necessary to do both. Super lift was helpful but unsure of the specific corrections needed. Have not had time to complete this, but should have this done this weekend.
