I ordered mine from Jeffs bronco graveyard. they are the polyurethane spacers. they were easy to install and they leveled the truck out perfect but my tires bowed in and I couldn't get my truck aligned anywhere. I tried every place in town and everyone told me to take them off, or wanted to charge almost $500. you may have better luck with them then I did but I wa just venting because I wasted $100.

You have to get camber bushings for the ball joints if you lift your truck. On a true suspension lift you do at least, but normally it would bow what I would call "out". I would assume the same would go for the spacers.

I think you do but te spacers don't tell you that you will need anything else.

That's normal then. You just need camber spacers for the ball joints.
