Suspension question
Is it normal for the front tires to have a negative camber? I was noticing my truck in the parking lot and it seems like the front tires are all jutting out - you know like the guys who do cheap lowering jobs and have to go to negative camber just to further lower the vehicle.
I would expect some negative camber with a heavy load, but not sitting in the parking lot empty.

I put KYB gas-a-matics on mine. My ranger sounds like it gets the same useage as your's, city driving with occassional hauling and some towing. So far I've been happy with them, truck no longer floats down the road, haven't hauled or towed with it yet but I'm sure the KYB's will be fine

I put adjustable Gabriel's on mine. Not the cheapest out there, but good for around the city driving, and if I need to haul anything, I have the capability (biggest it's gotten now was about 500 pounds in the bed at one point).
Also many good things about Bilsteins. Very pricey, but some say it's worth it. Generally harder ride though.

I need some shocks....
I just invested in some KYB GR-2's for my LTD. They are somewhat mushy to be honest. The cheapo Gabriel Red-Riders on my other Panther are much better. I'm leaning towards KYB Gas-a-Justs for my Ranger.
BTW, Bilsteins do rock from what I have heard, but $100 is way too much for a shock.
