I have a line on some jeep springs and have read about using camber bushing to keep from using the center drop bracket. How much can the camber bushings make up for?
I don't think it will be over a couple of inches of lift but I want to be able to align the front end as to not eat the new tires.

My plan is to eventually go with a solid axle up front so I don't want to spend a ton on a lift kit. If I get a couple of inches of lift with the fender trim I have planed it will be plenty of room.

Sounds like I need the drop bracket. May have to rethink it til I get my axle for the front

I did see that after I looked around a bit. Seem expensive for what they are though. Guess when it's a special item they can charge what they want.

I have actually found a solid axle for the front for about the same money. May just jump straight to that. Will just have to Change the gear ratio,

May get that next week

I think to align mine after a 2" coil spacer lift they used 4 degree bushing from Napa. That is as big as they go I think.

cool, if the axle doesn't work out, I will give that a try.
