My truck is a 1990 F250 Reg. Cab long bed 4x4 8600Lbs GVWR with a new 6 inch Skyjacker lift(new leaf springs, shocks, TTB brackets) and new 35" BFG M/T on US wheel Dune series aluminum 16X10's. When I got it aligned they shop said that to adjust the camber right they have to remove the original camber bushings and replace them with the right ones, they also said the ball joints needed to be replaced but when the lift was going on my co-workers father(he has a 4WD shop in Camino, CA) said my ball joints were good, no loosenes at all. Well when they adjusted the toe the camber came in real close to specs and they told me to see how it is and if I wanted it changed to stop back by. My question is are the balljoints hard to change on a lifted truck with the 50 TTB? And how much are the camber bushings? Thanks

 

Balljoints aren't easy to change regardless if it's lifted or not. You will most likely need a ball joint removal tool, a good sledge hammer and alot of patience and beer. A heat wrench wouldn't hurt as well. Jack up the front end and check for vertical play (pull on top and bottom of tire) if your ball joints are bad you will see them deflect. As far as the camber bushing prices, I have no idea but I bet they are affordable. Your lift kit may have different mounting holes on the ttb drop brackets depending on the lift you have and you can actually adjust camber by selecting the better match. ( I had a 82 bronco with the left side on the 6" hole and the right on the 4" hole).
Hope this makes sense

Don't use heat on ball joints. The knuckles and the TTB axle are heat tempered. If you get them hot, they lose their temper and are weaker.

It's for a Dana 44 TTB, but they're bascially identical, just smaller.
