alignment bushings for lowered 89?

Looking for what alignment bushing I am needing for my 89 f150 that has a 4/6 drop. Heard from some to get "offset alignment bushings", then when I search for them there are no "offset" bushings just regular replacement ones.

If anyone could help or provide a link that would be great. A local alignment shop wont tell me where I can order these bushings or what brand they are and want $150 just to instal them which I could do my self.

Thanks in advance

To do the bushings, you need to hook up to an alignment machine first to see where the camber is, then unhook, remove old bushings and see what offset they are, then calculate what bushings you need to get the camber right, so its pretty tough to do yourself and get it right.
