Bronco lift problems
 
I have just put in a 2" lift on my 81 bronco and everywhere I have read wouldn't need TTB extensions. I have big problems with camber and caster even with camber and caster adjustable bushings in still have too much even for them. Seems like having all problems with 4" lift but with only 2". Was hoping not to put traction beam extensions on as I do a lot of off roading and herd they are not very strong. All help will be appreciated thank you.

You need drop brackets not extensions. They are pretty cheap... ~$80 last time I checked.


If you put lift coils on and did not also drop the center portions then your tires will always do this \ /

as A/O said, you need a set of TTB drop brackets to get your front end back in alignment.
you can buy them or make them

Little experience with TTB, but shouldn't his adustable bushings adjust that out with only 2" lift?

nope. adjustable is only good for around 2 degrees.
a 2 inch lift can put you up to 6 degrees off.

Can only find drop brackets for 4" to 6" iff I use the 4" will it go too far the other way and if it does will the camber adjuster bring it back. Cheers

Check with people like Tuff Country or James Duff

if you put a 4 inch drop bracket in, you will go around 4 degrees the other way. too much for a cam.
the only way to do it properly is to put a 2 inch drop on it.
on the three trucks i did, i put 0 degree cams in, set the truck on a level pad, and cut the brackets and add whatever was needed to get the alignment where it needed to be. once welded i then align the front end.
