Suspension question 90' Ranger SuperCab

[Explorer-Gurra]

Hi!

I'm helping a friend with his 90' Ranger SuperCab.
We have ran into som problems with the suspension. In the rear it's very very soft and the front has got quite a lot of negative camber.

Some previous owner have mounted a lift kit. But we don't have any information about it. No name or other facts.

I lifted the front (in the frame) and when the weight was off the front wheels the negative camber disappeared. Does this mean that too soft (worn out) front springs are the cause of the negative camber?

I guess that new leaf springs and shocks in the rear will take away the "softness".

Does anyone know some good suspensions dealer (which delivers over seas)?

Best regards

Can you post some pics of the lift kit? Someone should be able to identify what brand it is by it's brackets (and their color).

The front coils on most kits are not specific to Supercab trucks, so the extra weight causes them to sit lower (this is especially true with Skyjacker kits). This doesn't mean the coils are bad or worn though. In these cases adding a spacer (or some large steel washers) underneath the bottom spring perch will correct the problem.

An add-a-leaf is a cheap and easy cure for soft rear leafs.

The front could be bad ball joints as well.
