just installed a 2 inch leveling spacer in my 1993 f150 4x4 with the TTB and i know everyone says that drop brackets etc are my answer but has anyone had any camber issues with just a leveling spacer... if so have you found any solutions like getting it re-alligned or been able to let it all come back into place? because it is coming from being on jacks and sagging for about 4 days and now its sitting with about 2-3 degrees of positive camber like \-/ all responces will be appreciated

 

like in another forum someone replied with "you'll be pretty good with a 2" leveling kit. You start running into problems with the TTB when you get to 4-6" lift.

For the 2" lift you will need new ball joints, and a good alignment when you get the lift."

is it that simple?

 

Yes it is that simple. The ball joints are probably not necessary, they will make sure everything is tight when you have it aligned. Get some or have the shop purchase the adjustable caster/camber alignment bushings prior to taking it in. This adjustable Caster/Camber bushing allows for up to 4 degrees of caster change and will likely be the one you need as the other adjustable bushings only allow for 2 3/4 degrees change. I'd get them, if the caster adjustment comes-up short, with another bushing, you'll be buying them anyway.

thanks so much for the help! ill probably be taking it in soon

 

which one of these would be best, just list the part number for me if you can tell

thanks

 

Part Number: 5310-07031965

That type bushing is adjustable. One can change the degree of the bushing to suit the amount needed for a correct alignment. All of the others on that page are fixed at whatever is designated, 1 degree, 1 3/4 degree etc. etc and only come in a max of 2 3/4 degrees.

 

5310-07031964 is the 4x4 option would that be better or does rwd part fit?

 

I have used both. The 4 degree bushing allows for more caster if needed.

 

the only thing is the parts look a bit different. they both do fit though? or am i better off with the 4x4 one?

 

@Nick DiNoia Hey bro just curios to know how the camber problem on your truck turned out? Can you give an update please?

I'm also having a camber problem after lifting the front of my truck to even it out with the rear. My brother an I did not use a lift kit but instead gathered different parts from the internet and put together our own lift from different manufactures. The reason for this was because we where able to get certain parts cheaper and upgrade other parts like the coil springs and shocks that I thought would make the suspension better... Hahaha, and now I'm struggling to get the front tires straight. It's night time here in CA but I will post some pictures tomorrow so you could get an idea about what I'm talking about.

FYI- I have a 2 wheel drive 1994 F150... I thought when we finished with the lift I would have 3-4 inch. of lift but it seems to me it's more than that...

* forgot to mention that I room it to the local Tire shop to align and the mechanic told he had maxed out the camber and that the only way to fix the problem would be to get new axles... WtF... I just said thanks and hoped he wasn't right... I'll take a shot of the results too and post them...
