Hey.. I posted this over on the Truck site yesterday morning... 20 views...not one reply...What think you all ??
I have a 92 D250, I bought a while back. Didn't like the way it sat soooo low, so I lifted it (a lot) in the front, using the heaviest D series springs I could find, and A Rubber insulater, claiming to give 2.5 or 3 in lift. Then I added leaf to the rear to make it level.
Been this way for a while now, and when I had my Truck Alignment specialist align it , he told me and showed me that we couldn't get enough camber to make it exactly right. All new upper bushings and joints were installed at that time. Went ahead and left it up anyhow. Now it looks like the camber is getting worse, and I suspect, and have actually looked at the upper arm bushings on my lift, and I can tell, they are wearing bad, I guess because of the geometry. Now I'm also getting a noise on both sides sometimes. I suspect that the bushings are moving all around, and back and forth on the eccentric adjusters, which, BTW are adjusted All the way out. 10k on this set up and not really any noticeable wear on the tires.
Here is my Question. I know I can install new bushings, and it will be ok for a while. But what I really want to know is... If there is someone out there making offset upper bushings to solve this..Or..adjustable upper arms, to give me more length. to help the camber issue.
Anyone got any good Ideas on this....Besides lowering truck back down ???
