Re: Negative Camber problems

2.5-3 degrees is a lot to correct. Did you say you already have the adjustable cams in it? I'm not 100% on it already having adjustable cams. I tried looking at it and referencing a picture that one of the other members posted, but they are to dirty and rusted to tell. I will snap a picture when I ...

Re: 94 Bronco - Budget Build

If you can I would put some more tabs on that rear shock mount for double shear. Why not just put another tab on each side and not have to worry about the single shear breaking off. The reason for it being single shear at the moment was because it was kind of "throw it all together to see where eve...

Thanks man. I got the shock mount from a buddy who had it on his bronco - I believe it was custom made either by himself or some local shop.

Re: Dana 44- Open, LS - Thoughts on your setup??

Hubs unlocked = 2wd Lol, Doh! Total blonde moment there... Okay, so if the hubs are then locked - but 4 wheel drive is not engaged, are you still using the locker? I guess what I am trying to say is if I have a locker in the front and I want to drive around town with the hubs locked (due to snow or...

Re: Dana 44- Open, LS - Thoughts on your setup??

So I think this was answered in a previous comment... but being new to lockers and such I am going to ask again in hopes to gain clarification. I have manual locking hubs up front - so if I were to put a locker up front in the D44, then: Hubs are unlocked = technically "open" differential Hubs are l...

94 Bronco - Budget Build

Hey guys! I have been a long time follower of this site and thoroughly love seeing all of the builds and knowledge shared - which prompted me to start my own build thread. I have had my bronco for about 4 years or so, and have only started getting into the gofast realm for about the last 2 years. Mo...

Re: Negative Camber problems

Tchajagos, They are the progressive rate springs - Deaver F64C I believe is the part number. I do know that they are labeled as 5.5" but do compress once broken in. The drop bracket that is on the truck (homemade from previous owner) is 4". It is a mess trying to fix what the guy had done to it befo...

Negative Camber problems

Hey guys, So I took my truck to get aligned the other day, as I haven't had it done since I re-did all suspension and replaced all tie rods and components. The truck was aligned before when it had on a 6" rough country lift and everything was able to go into spec. However, this was the first alignme...

Re: Ryan's '96

Do they limit your bump travel or articulation at all? I don't notice the rubbing all the time, more so on certain angles and inclines really. I have trimmed the first layer of sheet metal away, and that allows the shackle and deavers to clear without rubbing, but I think whenever they flex out it r...

RyanDS650X - can you snap a picture of your camburg shackles? And, how much did you have to cut that rear body cross member in order to get them to cycle cleanly?

Re: Camburg shackles/cutting rear crossmember

TrevorPiggot, did you end up cutting your cross member or running a longer hanger?
If you cut your cross member, can you post up pics of how much you took out, etc. I am running into the same problem.
