Was lookin get around and I found that Raybestos make a 3 degree offset upper balljoint for the nnbs trucks. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. The reason is because I have belltech drop spindle and drop strut set to 4" total drop up front and even with their offset bushings I cant get it to align to spec. Check it out. BTW if the link isnt allowed let me know and ill remove it.

Would you happen to have your printout from your latest alignment? If I see the numbers I could help tellyou what to move where.
Were your bushings installed properly?
Cause I've done a few belltechs at 2" at work with the bushings and other then highee then spec caster it waa perfect and even on my own at 1" without bushings mines good

Unfortunately no, I cleaned my truck out 2 weeks ago and it probobly went in the trash. I do remember comparing my stock spindle to the belltech one and the upper balljoint mount was higher and at an odd angle. Could that be causing some issues? I checked earlier and noticed that the alignment cams are a
1/8" from being maxed out.

I think they put that angle to prevent the ball joint binding.
there's a cam plate available to compliment the bushings, giving you 3* total, then your keeping it fairly factory, not getting into offset ball joints
