Camber problem with 89 ranger

[Birks16]

Ok I have a 89 ranger bagged and body dropped. I cant get the camber right in the front when I raise it up to turn.

Did you have the height preset when you had it aligned?? Hydro or air??

It's bags and when I do adjust the camber bolt so when the tires can turn with out rubber fenders the wheels are straight. but at that setting when I drop it the wheels hit the air bags

Your not going to get away from that as long as you are running beams, because of the fulcrum and pivoting. It's going to swing inward no matter what. You can either do a mustang II front suspension swap (or aerostar) to give you upper and lower control arms, or you can run spacers so the tire won't make contact. For now change your ride height a little lower so the tire don't contact the bags, when you get to something on the road that will cause you to bottom out(like the entrance to a parking lot, or speed bump), lift the bags to get over the obstacle then lower back to ride height...

like he said....on an '89 Ibeam truck--you have to adjust the ride-height to what you would normally drive around with.

My truck has 4-wheel adjustable air shocks, so I run 40psi in all 4 shocks-whick keeps the fender lips even with the top of each tire.

If I reduce the pressure to lower the front end, the tops of the front tires lean in....that's how Ibeams be!

Yea your not going to have straight camber when layd out or at full lock to turn with a body drop. If you need the negative camber to clear your fenders when lifting the truck Maybe try a FWD offset wheel. Or you could be limiting your turning radius depending on the bags and brackets your are running. Any pics of the front suspension? Also NAPA part# 264-3950 is the +-4degree adjustable camber caster eccentrics that can help dial it in if you do not have them already. They really need to be set at your highway driving height, about 5-6" max drop from stock height (not taking into count the body drop)
