I just installed two inch lift pucks under the coils of my 1984 4x4 and need to adjust camber. Can someone save me the math and point me to the correct camber adjustment nut. Thanks

 

Get the largest eceentric you can buy. With 2 inches, you probably will not be able to get it in, but the largest eccentric will be the only choice you have with it still not being in alignment totally. 1.5 inches is usually the tallest you can go and be able to still get it in.

 

i think i found 2.5' or 2.25'

 

They are sold in degrees. Autozone has a selection of them, search for castor camber bushing. Only the alignment machine can tell you what you need, but like I said, get the largest one you can buy and you will still be out.

 

Thanks. I'm going to measure the degrees of positive camber and buy accordingly but have my doubts i can get down to .5 degrees.

 

The bushing does the caster also. So you have to do both at one shot. Not something you can really do at home.

 

Caster is perfect so I'm hoping to get the correct degree nut and see what happens. Pretty much have to do it at home as any suspension mods at all are illegal here and shops won't do it. Luckily there are zero regulations on motorcycles so I don't complain too loudly.

 

it's an alignment adjustment. all cars need front end alignments at some point.

 

Caster and camber are all one adjustment. So you get in there and mess with the eccentric, you will be messing with the caster also. The eccentric moves the upper balljoint left and right and forward and backward all at the same time. Left and right would be your camber and forward or backward would be the caster. Not trying to discourage you, try it and see what happens.

 

In theory its not rocket appliances but we'll see in practice. Worse comes to worse I'll just take the lift out although it looks so great riding level it would be a shame.

 

Make sure you mark somehow the old eccentric and which side it goes on if you want to put it back. That way you will be back where you were. Sometimes everything was dead on when they built the truck, and the eccentric doesn't have any eccentricity to it at all.(a zero degree version)

 

Thanks, appreciate the advice, waiting on parts now. I'll post the results. Cheers

 

3° didn't quite get me there with 3/4T front coils (+/- 1.5" lift).
l don't drive the truck enough to worry about it, but the eventual fix is an engineered 2.5" lift with drop brackets.

 

I'm thinking I'll get the same but I only use it for hauling a few supplies and dump runs, 1-5 thousand K a year so a little tire wear is no big deal. I wish I had your hubcaps, impossible to find where I am

 

do you have a shot looking head on?
