[QUOTE="Kalashnik, post: 1283812, member: 28513"] When I built my ranger I welded custom washer in place of the lower arm pivots to get rid of the alignment cams and then just heimed the upper arms for the adjustment. I did all my alignment measurements with the truck supported as closely as I could to the hub to simulate the tires actually being on. I was able to take enough measurements to get the alignment pretty close. Close enough that my buddy threw it on the rack one day while giving me special safety inspection and concluded besides more negative camber than stock I was right there. With that being said... I was working on my ranger the other day because I noticed the camber had gotten worse. Since there is no cam bolts to slip this meant something is bending or something has play in it. After further inspection I noticed my upper uniballs had a bit of play. If I had cam bolts I would have just blamed them for the change in visible alignment. Now the cam bolts could also offer a fuse for the front end. Sort of like how weak tie rods can save the rack or weaker axle shafts can save a dif. If the cam bolts slip under extreme loads it could help not bust something else. I don't drive to hard so I planned on doing the cam delete and probably just making my own heimed and uniball upper arm. [/QUOTE]
