suspension help needed

1996 Ford F250SC 4x4. i broke a rear spring. i had the rear springs repaired, rearched 4", and an extra leaf added. the front was rearched 2" and a leaf added. then i had two alignments shops try an alignment, neither would do the alignment because it was off 3 degrees on the left and 3.5 on the right. i believe i can remedy the situation by extending the IFS attachments 2". i would like to find a bolt on extension. any ideas. bryan

"IFS attachments" are actually Axle-pivot Brackets.Any 4x4 shop can get them for you.

thank you. problem is i live in rural america, no known 4x4 shops around here. what i have found online is only one choice, the TUF Country option. it has a camber bolt with the unit. any pros or cons to this unit or the camber bolt? any other axle pivot brackets out there? bryan

I'm not a big fan of Tuff country,but if it has the camber bolt;that's a plus.The camber bolt on the bracket will give you some extra adjustment,if needed.

thank you for your input. i can only find that one option for my vehicle using online searches and going to various manufactures websites. suspension connection has the best user friendly web site in my opinion. bryan
