Add 4" lift/ now positive camber

[Dee88]

Oh first off I'm new to the forum and this is my very first post. I have a 89 bronco II and added a complete 4" lift kit with drop down brackets, coil, and shocks. So my problems is that now I have very positive camber and I was just wondering is that common with the 4" lifts? I been searching on the forum and most people with this problem have 2" lift kits. Please any information or guides will help. This is my first TTB suspension truck and I'm not real familiar with them like that..

Thanks

Did you get a wheel alignment? You should be able to get most if not all camber out with an alignment. The other thing you really should do is get a drop pitman arm. Look at the top of this forum section in the "stickies" as there is some very good write ups on this situation.

There is a "tech section" at the top of every page;

Here is some numbers for alignment bushings, courtesy of BlackBII;

Part numbers for a Dana 35.

Ingalls #594, Moog #K8986, Specialty Products #24180, and Spicer # 6122025

If you have a Dana 28, they will be different. RockAuto.com has them, and you can get them at Napa, Checker, Autozone..etc

No I haven't got it to the alignment shop yet. I'm still waiting on extended brakes lines. But yes i already have a drop pitman arm, it came with my Rough country kit. I will taking it to the shop this weekend.

Thanks

PS; 1989, you have a dana 28 unless the axles have been changed, so those numbers are no good. The drop pitman arm you were given is likely not enough. Definitely not if you have changed it already..

Yes I have the Dana 28 And yes the complete kit rough Country kit is installed , including the pitman arm! So you are telling me I need to get a long pitman arm then the one that came with the kit?

Here is a good article about why and how the TTB axle works, and what you can do to correct any problems.;
