Cool 3 inch Rancho lift problems

I just put in a 3 in. lift on my 82 bronco, tires bow in. they said all i needed after the installion was to get it aligned and install 1.5-2.0 degree chamber adjustment sleeves. Shop is telling me that i need drop brackets for the i-beam and radius arm. Who's correct?

Ditto to Bossind, anything over 2" of suspension lift will need drop brackets for the axle pivot mounts and 1) drop brackets for the radius arms or 2) longer-than-stock raduis arms. Otherwise getting caster and camber into line will be impossible.

With that particular lift, the axle pivot drop brackets are essential. You may or may not need the adjustable caster/camber bushings . . . it just depends on the individual truck. You probably need radius arm drop brackets or extend radius arms also.
