Have a 93 Ranger (2wd, 2.3L) that I installed new 2.5"-3" coil springs. This threw the camber way off. Even after adjustable camber bushings and an alignment the tires are 3 degrees off.

I have looked for radius drop brackets for a 2.5" lift w/2wd, but could only find Tuff Country brackets for 4wd. Has anyone tried these on 2wd? I have also found drop brackets for 4-6" lift; I do not want to go this high.

Any other ideas on how I can get the camber back to spec? Thanks!

Take it to a alignment shop? You can't eyeball alignment. You need very expensive equipment to do it properly.

Did you get new cambers and casters?

You don't need radius arm drop brackets for 2.5-3 inches, only 4 inches or more.

I did take it to an alignment shop; their reading said that it was 3 degrees off. And yes, they are a shop that I trust. I only installed new camber bushings that allow for adjustment; even with them maxed out it is still off.

One idea is to drive it hard on a bumpy field over and over; I'd prefer to avoid that with today's gas prices (and the chance of breaking other parts). I know that I should not need new drop brackets (radius or pivot drops), for a 2.5"-3" lift, but its so off that I don't know what else to do.

Thanks for helping.

they make shims to adjust the camber. Not sure how they are installed they fixd mine at the shop included in the alignment. they charged me like 35 bucks for the shims and install.

Got them offline via ebay from airbagit.com - http://www.airbagit.com/lifted-coil-...oi-fr8297b.htm.

I gave up on these springs, and since have tried Skyjackers 132 lift springs. Oddly enough, those springs gave me no lift at all and were quickly returned; they were the same size as the stock springs.
