Quick Front Suspension Question

Just ordered 7 degree offset bushings from Jeffs Bronco Graveyard. Hoping to do away with drop brackets on truck. After installing them, radius arms are level, to almost pointing to wrong way? I believe they are 4'' drop brackets from national tire and wheel, that came with the six inch suspension lift. Any one ever seen this issue before. I'm hopeing the bushings will fix everything, cause the arms are hanging way to low, and keep hitting stuff, rocks, trees, ect....

Uh.... Interesting situation. The offset bushings are going to change the angle of your axle, not the angle of your radius arms. What you need to do is either get bigger lift springs or chop down the drop brackets.

Best of luck
