Which alignment bushings?

[Brian Grohgans]

I know ttb alignment has been discussed thoroughly but im still struggling to find the correct the camber bushings for my truck.
Took the truck for an alignment this morning and the shop wouldn't touch it, but I did walk out with my current alignment specs




Camber: 2.5 deg left, 1.7 deg right
Caster: 4.2 deg left, 2.0 deg right
Toe: -0.12 deg left, 0.98 deg right, .086 deg total
Steer ahead (never heard of this): -0.55 deg

Truck drives nice and straight but took it in because I just finished installing a 2" spacer lift. That's the only suspension mod. 4.0L extended cab 4x4

Figured I don't need adjustable bushings cause I already have my alignment specs.
Just not sure which bushings I do need since these say not to use over 2 degrees

Need recommendations on bushings and thoughts as to whether or not I need a DPA?

Those specs are meaningless if they weren't taken with 0° bushings installed.
If you want to use fixed bushings, you'll need to put 0° bushings in, and take your readings again. Then look up the charts in a Ford service book or similar to see what degree bushings (and their orientation) you require.

It's a hassle doing it that way I think, and is why I always say just use the adjustable ones. Then you can just twist & turn the two parts of it until it's right.

Good point I would have missed that. Adjustable ones it is then; I was just trying to avoid the hassle of the charts and letters and what not

The Specialty Products bushings (24180) are literally identical other than they don't say "Ingalls" on them.
