I know this is a 4x4 suspension page but I will explain my reason for posting a 2WD question. I have a 2002 ranger edge 2wd. Other than the stock 3" body lift, I have lifted it with 3" torsion bar keys. I have 35/12.50/15's on it. After installing the torsion keys I took my truck to the alignment shop and they can't align it because it's adjusted all the way and it still has a negative camber of about 4 degrees. I have posted my problem on the 2WD suspension pages and everyone keeps suggesting camber adjustment bushings but that doesn't work because my truck does not have twin i-beams it has torsion bars like the 4WD. This is the only vehicle my wife and I have to drive and it's just a lawn ornament right now because I don't want to wear out my new tires. Does anyone know what I need and/or where I can get it? A part number would be very helpful too. Thanks.

Other than welding up some extended control arms like the lowrider guys put on '64 Chevys, there isn't anything you can do. The torsion bar keys have taken it out of the range of adjustment, which is one reason why they are a bad idea for 2wd and 4wd both. The geometry and travel are what they are and all you are doing is adjusting the suspension downward.
Put the stock keys back in, turn them no more than 1.5" over stock, and get 3" dropped spindles from Pro Comp or Fabtech.

I did find a camber/caster cam bolt kit that has +/-3.25 degrees of camber/caster adjustment at proryde.com. Would this work?

Maybe. I can't say for sure but the simple fact is that you have adjusted all the downtravel out of your suspension. Just get the lift spindles. Hey, they cost a bunch less than us 4wd guys have to pay for a Superlift kit. Alignment, shocks, all stay stock.
This is a 2wd Sport Trac with lift spindles, body lift, Bushwhacker flares, and 36's.
