Hey Guys,

Im guessing the pictures you were refering to were off my truck. The springs I ended up with were too tall for the truck, they were off an 05 or 06 F250 FX4. A drop bracket was created to help drop the pivot for the I beams, they were wonly comfortable with bending the beams so far and the camber was still way off so my lowering that pivot you can help correct the camber. The setup isnt perfect but its worked out well for me. I plan on doing a D60 swap later though so fixing the issues is not high on my list of things to do.

The shop I went to said therevwas no way for them to align it without some kind of adjustable camber bushings adjustable ball joints or drop brackets.
So right now I'm looking for a set of drop brackets for the I beams.

Curious. What's your reason behind saying to ditch the sway bar? It fits just fine.

i ditched it for the desert and offroading so it doesn't get hung up on anything and lets the beams work more than they do with it on the i-beams in the desert have been king for along time recenty the a-arms became king but now the times being tight people are i-beamin it again cause they can't afford the a-arms i just put i-beams on my firends 4x4 98 65,000 mile ranger and left the rear so he can adjust his gear ratio in the rear with the control on the dash u can use a gas brackets for drop down with ur set up but i've seen them rip right out of the frame so thats why im not using them good if your not off roading it but don't recommend that you drive it hard off raod with those someone on here had some 3degree adjustable camber bushings you should post a thread asking about them and get those adjust as far as you can and rotate your tires as per oil change is done

up to 97 is good in 150 gasser bronco and the twin traction i-beam 4x4 brackets work as well i can get you a home made kit for 450 500 i believe if you want that its probley cheaper for you cause you dont need the 4in rear blocks or the coils
