Leveling lift kit installed, facing a camber problem now
Hi Gentlemen,
I own a 1986 F150 XLT Lariat 2WD. After the installation of a new set of Rough Country 1.5" front leveling lift kit, i observed a noticeable positive camber problem. Since the truck camber is not adjustable, can anyone recommend an offset bushing kit that would adjust the wheels accordingly. I currently run on 33X12.5X15 tires on 10" wheels.
Appreciate your help.

I am not sure about 2wd, but 4wd's are adjustable to a point if they have balljoints. You are correct, offset bushings are installed around the top balljoint. But there is a limitation on this, the alignment place will be able to put it on their machine, and most alignment machines will tell them what offest bushing will be needed. You have to adjust the caster and the camber in one shot with the bushings, so it can be tricky.

Tuff Country offers adjustable drop brackets for the beams on these trucks, that might be an option for you. They most likely list them differently for a 4x4 and 4x2, you should be able to use either kit. I installed a lift kit for a 4x4 on my old 96 F150 4x2 when I converted it to 4x4, everything lined up perfectly as it did on the 4x4 truck the kit came from.
