Allignment issues. Yep... A newb question.

JMann · May 18, 2009

Ok... I've been reading a lot of posts, on a bunch of forums, about allignment issues with a 3" drop spring on a 98-00 ranger. So far, it's been pretty frustrating. I've read on some that it is impossible. Others say that with the right parts you can get it back into the factory spec.

Unfortunately, most of the info that I can find is for the i-beam front end, which really doesn't apply to me.

I've got the coils and hopefully they will get installed this weekend. What do I have to do to get it back in alignment? Camber bushings?? If so, how far will I have to go?

I am running 3.5 degree camber adjusters from summit. I dont remember the brand offhand it was a long time ago I bought them. but they replace the bolts that hold on the upper control arms and are an offset washer design so that they rotate to adjust the camber. I would say get the ones with the most degree you can get and go from there. with 2 inch dropsprings and DJM arms until the springs settled I was at 1 degree positive camber.

Thanks man. I've heard that Napa offers up to a 4 degree camber bushing for the 98 and up rangers. But, I can't seem to find more than a 2.25 degree on their web site. The best I could find, with a search on the summit site, was a 1.25 degree. I think I may be kind of screwed for a bit. I don't want to put these in if I'm going to tear the tires off my rims. Anyone have a link to a bushing that I can use?
