1977 4wdf100

I own an Australian built 77 f100 4wd how do you determine what the offset angle is for the 'C" bushings I am in the process of replacing them or trying to anyway, it appears that the ones I purchased may be the wrong offset either that or the finer points of insulator replacement elude me.any help here would be greatly appreciated Cheers Rob

Greetings.

Only if your rig is lifted would you need offset C-bushings.

A stock to 2-inch lift can use standard or 2-degree C-bushings, a two- to four-inch lift requires 4-degree bushings, a lift of more than 4 inches requires 7-degree bushings. IMO, you should think about radius arm drop brackets for a lift of more than 4 inches.

I used 2 degree bushings in my 75 which has not lift. They worked fine.
