TUFF COUNTRY SUSPENSION
Have a question, I'm tired of taking my 93-f150 6" superlift to get it
align and then have the same response that its hard to get the camber correct,so here's my question.... I was reading about tuff country having their axel pivot brackets with a built in camber adjustment bolt that is suppose to corect and make alignments easier and precise, I was wondering if anyone here has tried or heard of Tuff Country's Suspension and just how good is this axel pivot bracket for alignments really are... any pros and cons would be appreciated.
There going for $169.95 + shipping, so Ijust want to know if they're worth my money and time to install...Tires are really expensive you know.

6" superlift
Super Runner Steering System
Super Runner Radius Arms
35" Goodyear MTR'S
15x10 Mickey Thompson Classics

You already have the axle pivot brackets. Those are what you bolted the ends of the TTB or I-beams too. They lower the pivot point to keep the alignment. What you need though are the camber adjustment bushings.

By the way, tuff country is cheap crap. Good for street driving and maybe a dirt road but they are not very strong for off roading.

TUFF COUNTRY SUSPENSION
Thanks mustang, I know ROUGH COUNTRY is CHEAP and not worth the money
but, TOUGH COUNTRY is a different Company, I know people get them confused cuz they sound alike, but, they are different, and I know I have the axel pivot brackets, but, Tough country has on theirs a camber adjustment that goes thru and mounts where the TTB mounts to it, I was just asking if anyone has tried theres and if it was any good.. its similar to the way Toyotas and Chevy adjusts their Camber and makes alot of sense doing it that way due to the numerous alinement problems that the TTB gives us. Using this adjustment, you would never have to mess with the camber bushing on the upper ball joint, but, would just have to turn a eccentric bolt on the axel pivot bracket..so my question was has anyone tried Tough Country or have any friends who has and what was their thoughts...

I ran a 6inch super lift on my 93 ex cab, tell ya the truth it was a great maintenence free lift and I never had one alingment problem.
Maybe the guys working on your truck are the problem.
I also ran a plow on the front in the winter and beat it up pretty good off road.
Super lift is one of the top 3 manufactures of "kits" and thats based on the quality of thier fabricated parts.

I run a 4" Superlift on a 91 F-250 dsl. and have never had an alignment problem. My brackets also have adjustable camber in the bracket itself, but I used that to get an extra 1" of lift then had the spring shop work on the springs to get the camber right. I've been running it that way for over a year and my tires have never wore as good as they do now.

I've never heard good things about either rough country or tuff country. Top three in my mind: tied for first is BDS and skyjacker, and a close 3rd is superlift.

NEVER heard of "BDS"! I think SkyJacker is the best!
Anyhow... the adjustable bushings that are built into Tough Country's lift for your truck are a good option, they DO make it easy to align... however, they are a weak link if you go wheelin'
It lessens the durability of your front end.
These can loosen and leave you with a wobbly front end!
So it just depends on how much wheelin you do
