I have a 86 ford ranger 4x4..... that is now converted to a 91 explorer. I have a 8.8 rear end with 5 13, and a dana 35 in the front.... It has a 6 inch superlift suspension kit with extended radius arms. ... under the coils I have 2 inch coil spacers., this makes it 8 inch lift... My camber is off now.. now it looks like a vw rear end. I have turned the factory camber in and it still off. I got a camber kit, but still it doesn't make it straight up.... was wondering if they make aftermarket ball joints that are off set for my ranger? Please help me... thank you
 
No, they don't make offset balljoints.

If it won't align correctly, you'll need to reduce the height of those spacers.
 
To what degree do your camber bushings adjust to?

It does sound like the superstiff coils and spacers are probably too tall to align, but dual adjustable bushings can get you near 4 degrees. It might be something worth trying.
 
I got 6deg. dual cam slugs and it brought my 5" springs with out any drop down brackets back into spec.

car quest has them.
 
I'd like to see the angle on that balljoint, hah.
