camber/caster setting ..

[Destroyer000]

can some one tell me the recommended or factory camber/caster settings for a 95 ranger 4x4? ive got it all apart now to install the 6inch skyjacker coils i purchashed. iam using the 4inch drop ttb brackets from rough country an i built some extended radius arms.. since the ttb brackets are 4inch i know the camber/caster is going to be off with 6inch coils so i went ahead an ordered up some 0-4 degree camber bushings.. but id like to figured out a number i should be trying to get close to.. thanks.

the easiest way is to start with that 4 degree bushing and work from there, unless you have an alignment machine where you can get acurate readings and just add degrees from there.

According to my book...

Caster is supposed to be 2-7°
Camber = +0.25°
Toe is given as .06° +/- .25°

I like to shoot more around +0.5° on the camber to better account for vehicle loading.

This page should be of some help on aligning it (scroll about halfway down)

If your truck is a Supercab, past experience with the SJ 6" coils suggests you'll likely come out real close to the ideal ride height mentioned on that page, which shouldn't require bushings with much offset to get it aligned correctly.

It's actually in the TRS Magazine, but Jim often puts links to the articles in the Library as well.

Anyway, Glad it helped. Good luck with it
