The other day i was looking around at a local pick n pull yard and came across a ranger with skjacker coils in like new condition.:headbang: So i had to have them and after some work i got them off. I paid $22 for both coils so i think i got a great deal.:icon_thumby: Put them in at school today and woaaa did i have positive camber. lol Put it on the alignment rack with a +3.4 and turned my current bushings all the way only to get to 1.2 degrees postive. Bought some new bushings and am gonna put them in tomarrow to see if i can get it to around .4 degrees or within specs. The truck is definatly level if not what seems alittle higher in the front. Makes the 31s look like stock tire size. The only thing i didnt do was get shock extenders. I got new stock shocks last year so i didnt want to buy new longer ones. Do you think i can ride around with these and not damage the shocks? I will probably get the extenders because i offroad and will want the travel.

Well i got the camber aligned today with the dual axis camber bushing. They work great and turned the camber in easy. I didnt get my caster in specs tho so will have to play around with that some other time. One thing, tonight i was driving home in the dark and i noticed my headlights were like a foot or two higher lmao so im gonna have to adjust those. Other than that i am really happy with them and the ride seems the same as my other ones if not alittle better.

How come many alignment shops act like this is impossible? Do you have a spec or model on that bushing? Did you happen to take it to a national chain like firestone? The hole in the wall alignment shop 4WheelParts outsourced mine to are lacking TTB skills. Damn it!

Yea post pics please, so I can show the local dumbasses it is in fact possible.

Hey Daringo I didnt take it to an alignment shop. I am going to school for auto technician so I just did it myself. We just got done with our steering and suspension class so i can use the alignment racks now that i know how to do it. The bushings were originally in because I replaced my ball joints last year and had lots of negative camber. So Tires plus which is a firestone sister company did my alignment and put those in.
