when I was messing with CAD, a drop spindle caused the exact same effect as extending the upper arm, fixed the camber but resulted in horrible positive camber when lifted.

Whats the problem with negative camber?

nothing really, except for those who have 22's and 20's with good size tires. If they just have to lift up to turn it's not really a problem. When I was looking at it, with a 2" drop spindle or a similiar extension on the UCA you would be at 0 degrees camber with the truck around 3 or 4" off the ground if that.

Now don't get me wrong, it would be fantastic for that to be your ride height, especially if cruising. From that point on though you get positive camber.

To me it's really not a fix it's just trading where the camber goes. It's either there when your laid out or just gets added on to your lift. This is better but still isn't a good solution. At least in my mind, but I might be the only one who feels this way.

also another problem with positive camber is that it very well might start hitting your fenders when lifting up.

No real problems with the suspension that are fixable with a bolt in arm. laying on 20's is no big deal, camber...you learn to deal with it. The only way to really "fix" the ranger font clip is to swap it with one that is better engineered to do the things you want it to do. DJM arms are just fine for baggin' it..Only real complaint would be ball joint bindage...but i don't think that's really fivable without utilizing another type of ball joint, and i don't know if there are any compatable with the ranger spindle.

yea ive been working on a arm design. the byc arms suck there design sucks. i have designed a set of arms and spacifically a set of uppers that what i have talked to others about seem to best the best route to go, throwing cad deawings back and forth. the jig is in the works and hopefully will be turning out some sets in the near future. and mike hit me up on aim sometime i have some ideas for ur design ive been talking to another engineer about it. im not gona discuss any of it on here.

The problem with the early s-10 arms from BYC , was corrected with a design change ,if I remember correctly.The arms I got from Mike (Toytoa),before all hell broke lose, have a thicker plate & a change in the angle!

I took my lower's and had speed ball's welded into them, to get rid of the binding.

sure negative camber looks cool, but its just shitty. I dunno about you guys but i like to drive my shit super low and that damn camber robs my poket of money to buy new tires. Best way to fix negative camber? Buy a chevy or get a yota clip, ranger & ford are a waste of time... But i do like my f-150, thats not too bad of camber, and they make spindles for that.. Make the f-150 spindles fit the ranger. anyone wanna buy or burn my ranger btw?
