radius arm drop bracket

92BR0NC0 · Mar 26, 2008

i took off my 35's and put 38's on and i lifted my bronco 2 inches more with a coil spacer, and i came across horrible bump steer so i relocated my tie rods to the top of my steering knuckle using hiem joints after aligning it improved a little but i found that my caster is all outta wack, what im trying to get to here is i already have a 6 inch radius arm drop bracket but i need to drop it 2 more inches... do any of u guys know where i can find an 8 inch drop braket or something that would be like a 2 inch spacer for the bracket i already have??? I would fab something up but the old lady says im spending too much time in the shop

p.s. any input would be greatly appreciated... thanks...

If you don't already have extended radius arms, i would go that route to help with the frontend caster problem.

Yup. Randy is dead-nuts right. By extending the radius arms rearward you won't have to drop the brackets nearly as far and it'll be easier to bring the whole thing into alignment. That's certainly the way *I'd* go, outside of that I think a 4" drop bracket is about the best I've seen for the radius arms. might well be that someone makes a 6" or 8" bracket but I've never seen it.

As far as the Old Lady, well, I'm on my 3rd so I'm no oracle as far as *they* go. Trucks are MUCH easier to understand and deal with.

On one of mine I have just the drop brackets and the other has superlift extended radius arms both 6 inch lifts both have the superlift superrunner steering and both I used the 2 inch coil spacer to raise the front a bit . If your talking about the wheels tipping out after doing that its the camber that is off . I ended up using these bushings with as much offset as I could get to straighten them out its kinda one of the drawbacks of the IFS . But if this condition is what you are talking about heres a pic of the bushing and an ebay link to get some .
