Positive Camber - Ball Joint Spacer.

[Rizon]

So I have a ton of positive camber. My outer front tires are wearing like crazy!

I have only had my rig for a couple months now. My mechanic (friend) said the positive camber is because my rig was not lifted properly. It looks like they added spring spacers to the back and then just cranked the tortion bars in the front.

He recommended I get ball joint spacers then turn my tortion back down.

Here is my question: I have 33" tires. The back is perfect. The front still rubs when I turn hard or hit bumps. What size ball joint spacers should I try? Has anyone else had experiance with this?

I was planning on getting 2" spacers then just backing down the tortion until the front matches the back?

it was lifted just fine, it never got an alignment im assuming. i have bj's with 33's also and i hit the pinch weld once in awhile but after i persuaded the pinch weld with 12lbs of hammer there wasnt any problems at all. with a little more persuasion i could fit 35's :-D

i would get the standard 1 1/2" bj spacer. than you can play with your height with the t-bars. this will give a much better liftt imo since it wont be such a stiff ride. you will need different shocks iirc.

but like Thurlo76, you just need an alignment if you wanna keep the current set up

Maybe I will try an alignment and a hammer first, lol. I do love the way my runner looks and drives as it is now. I just want the tires to wear properly and the fronts to stop rubbing.
