So my rear of my 86 BII is sitting at 21.5" from axle center to fender and front AFTER 1.5" spring spacers is sitting at 17.5" I'm thinking my front springs are shot. So i've been looking at leveling springs and i found a set on that auction site. They say their made by skyjacker but i'm a little sceptical..Anyone have any expereince with them?

Product Specs:
Vehicle: 83-90 Bronco II 2wd/4wd
+ High-strength Softride lift coil springs
+ Powdercoated to resist corrosion
+ Preset and formed from 5160H chromium alloy to ensure a higher tensile strength and longer life
ß This product has the full Skyjacker product warranty

MY other issue is when i back up to park the CAMBER pulls in raising the truck in the front like 2-3"???? then when i roll forward back down it goes... All the ball joints are new, shocks are new all steering new only thing old are the pivot bushings and radius arm bushings.:icon_confused:

That happens because your wheel alignment is out of whack (specifically the toe alignment, sounds toed-out by your description).
I'd recheck everything before concluding your springs are incorrect.

However Skyjacker does make very good coil springs.
