alignment issues

Hey guys, I have a 96 f150 4x4 i put a 6inch on it about a month ago and no the alignment guys say that there isnt enuff adjustment to keep the tops of my tires from leaning out. Does somebody know of a company that makes a special ball joint wit more adjustment for the ttb? thanks o yeah also if any of you guys know where i could buy a sent of 8inch drop brackets that would be cool to cuz i have a set of springs for an 8inch but the brackets were all bent to hell.

you need different bushings for the ball joints is all they do make them for the 6 inch lift.

Start with lift manufacturer . I usually have a problem with tires being other way and get Chamber shims from lift people and performance parts houses. . If your shop doesn't know about them I would take elsewhere any way.


Good luck LOST

you said that your alignment guys told you they could not fix it. I agree withe the poster above that if they don't know about the bushings that they are not alignment guys. get the bushings and take it to deferent alignment guys to do the alignment. you might just as well let them put them in also because they will need to loosen them up to set the alignment anyway.
