Take the truck to an alignment shop and they will determine which camber/ caster eccentric the truck will need. Or Buy the NAPA part# 264-3950 +-4 degree adjustable camber/caster eccentrics and then take the truck to an alignment shop. These eccentrics will align up to about a 5" drop. Drop beams do not change the camber much mainly the toe.

Hey, can you help me? I have a 2001 Ranger 2WD, and am told that my Camber is low on both front tires causing inside tire wear, and an Aftermarket Camber/Caster Adjustment Kit is needed, along with Upper Control Arm Ball Joints. Is this common for Rangers? Any Kit recommendations? Thanks.
