It does have trackbar arm drop bracket
Gotta get a drop pitman arm also.
Yes, you do.
If you don't, then no amount of C-bushing is going to give you the full benefit good road manners in a Bronco.
Jim's correct that caster is king with our setups, but it's not the only resident of the palace. Without your other alignments correct, you never know what you're going to get.
What else has been done to the steering and suspension? What year truck?
You said 3.5" lift, but what year and what other parts besides the trackbar drop?
If you have the chance right now (sounds like you're driving it) take it down to an alignment shop and have them give you a full printout of your settings. Maybe even let them set the toe-in if it's off.
This way you know what caster you have, and what else you might need. For all we know at this point your existing orange C-bushings will be good enough. But as was said, usually with 3.5" most of our EB's could use the full 7° and even more.
But this is why it helps to know what you're working with.
Those bushings look like one of the old companies that didn't stick around from the seventies. There was a little shop in Salinas here in CA that used to make their own bushings. He was actually one of the early adopters and, if I remember correctly, Energy Suspension bought him out of the bushing business, while he stayed in the local 4wd shop business.
If you see an old Energy catalog with the shortened EB chassis in gray showcasing all the bushings, that was his that he made up in his shop.
Can't remember for sure that he had one of those odd degree numbes (6 3/16° is certainly unusual) but it could very well be. Back then they were possibly more concerned with pinion angle than caster, so erred to the low side.
And he was big on Orange.
Give us some more info, and maybe shoot some pics of your steering linkage all the way across so we can see the working angles too.
Thanks
