This look like a question to 4x4junkie.....lol. I am building my dana 35 and wondering what degree of bushing I need. I know if the degree is to big that will sacrifice caster for camber...anyway got a rough country 4" and 1" coil spacer. I work a lot late this days and don't have time to go talk with an alignment shop. I am waiting for this to order my parts. any help will be apreciate.
thx guys!!!

You can get an adjustable bushing that sometimes makes it easier on lifted trucks, but they are kinda a PITA to use. Did you put drop brackets on it? The TTB is damn near impossible to align if you didnt drop the pivot points. I believe that proper alignment for them is one inch higher than the center of the hub. From there you can dial in camber and castor. Mine isnt aligned properly so I cant quite get the Castor dialed in, even with the drop brackets.

Good luck, hopefully Junkie can add to this.

Get the dual adjustable bushings that way you can dial in camber/caster separately. I believe the part numbers I saved from a previous thread are....Ingalls 594, Specialty Products 24180, Moog K8986, or Napa NCP 264-3950. I went with the Napa part as they had them in stock at just under $30 a bushing. Good luck finding a shop who knows how to correctly set the alignment on a ttb...

Yep, Yellowsplash got the right #s there (you can add Spicer #6122025 to that list as well
).

Fully-adjustable bushings are really the only way to go on these, especially if you'll be doing the alignment yourself. There's no way to know exactly for sure what amount of offset you'll need, as each truck will be different, even with the same lift configuration.
These let you dial it in to whatever you need (the charts that come with them makes it easy to change (for example) the caster by 1°, while retaining your current camber setting).
