axle pivot brackets

I own a 93 f150 flareside extra cab, with a 6" superlift, with the
extended radius arms and superunner steering. I currently have a problem with the alignment I have a slight neg. camber and the alignment shop just can't seem to get it just right, and I know that
tuff country sells a axle pivot bracket with a adjustment for camber
on it, was wondering if anyone has tried tuff countrys brackets or lift and had any regrets and if it corrected their alignment problems.
Tuff country told me they would sell the brackets for $169.00 plus shipping any info would surely be appreciated.

The pivot brackets are the same thing you have and the camber adjustment is just called a camber nut that goes on the top ball joint to adjust camber. Any good alignment shop can get the nut and put them in for you. If its slightly negative, it shouldn't be a problem. The stock camber nuts can adjust 1 degree positive or negative. My alignment place is putting 2 degree in mine, and i've heard of 3 degrees.



Primary rig is:
95' F-150 EB 300/6 5 spd with 4" Superlift, MSD, Ram Air, Gibson Exhaust, 32" BFG Muds
NEW PICS IN MY GALLERY!! :-)


Then theres:
88' F-250 Superduty 351 + c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 and a
3 spd column shifter baby. Top speed, 65mph, Go Baby Go!

The newest addition to the Ford family is a 99' Mustang GT 4.6L

I know about the camber eccentric on the upper ball joint
but, Tuff country sells axle pivot brackets with the camber adjustment
on the bracket itself, where the TTB would bolt up too. If you
visit their website you'll see what I'm talking about, I was
just wondering if this would give me just enough to correct my
alignment and/or make it easier to align in the future.

I was at their site, so I know what you are talking about. I dont think you could use them, since you already drop brackets. The ajustable ones they have are for trucks with a 2in lift or less. YOu probably just need new camber *****, cause the stock ones sometimes dont work to well.
