I have heard it can be possible to turn the bearings so the offset faces the other way, to get that extra little bit you need.
It is talked about here on the tech library...

I've never seen stock adjustable. Got mine from napa in stock for right around 75. they were 3 1/8. good to get the biggest they sell just in case you put a lift later and still have a lot of room for adjustment.

My 93 dana 35 stock bushings are adjustable, but the old dana 28 I had in my BII was just a straight hole and it was centered in the bushing IIRC. I bought heavy duty 1-2" lifting springs that came with the bushings from JC whitney for $180, or you can just get bushings ordered from NAPA or ebay or something.....ive seen them as low as $35 i think.

i used moog k80153 on my 85, i put them in backwards(3.25* postive, 2.75 neg), i was worried about them not adjusting enough so i put them so i could get 3.25* neg, set them all the way neg. that way i can fine tune with my eccentric cam bolts on my drop brackets which were all the way neg. that way i could have some room to play with, and the alignment shop only has to mess with the cam bolts on the pivots
