Product Description

The Tuff Country 20842 Axle Pivot Bracket is designed to restore proper front axle geometry on 1980-96 Ford F-150 and BRONCO 4WD trucks that have been lifted approximately 2.5". When the factory torsion-bar front suspension is raised without correcting the pivot bracket height or angle, misalignment, premature component wear and handling issues can occur. This bracket repositions the pivot mount point, helping maintain proper camber and steering geometry under load and lift conditions.

Made of heavy-duty steel with a durable powder-coat finish, the 20842 bracket kit bolts into the factory pivot bracket mounts - no welding required in most installations. It is ideal for lifted rigs where attention to front-end handling and alignment is important, whether for off-road use or daily driving. Many installers recommend an alignment after installation to capitalise on the improved geometry.

Important fitment note: Confirmed for model years 1980 through 1996 inclusive for the Ford F-150 and BRONCO 4WD using torsion-bar front suspension and approximately 2.5" front lift height. Fitment for 2WD variants, non-torsion-bar suspensions, lifts beyond 2.5" or other model years is **unconfirmed** at time of listing. Always verify your vehicle's suspension type, drivetrain, front axle mounting and lift height before purchase.
