Just aligned my '12 Express after the 2.5/5 drop. Firestone did the best they could but still not perfect. Suggested I buy some adjustable camber bolts. Has anyone installed these and does it help the Allignment or is this typical sales tactics trying to BS me into spending more money.

I have the rear adjustable panhard bar but the issue is with the front. BTW sorry for the crappy/sideways spec sheets. Let me repost

Rams already have them. Its a real part but there already there. Mostly its chevy that you have to add them your trucks just to low to be lined back up from what I've read 2in in the front is max with springs. I can't read it how far off is it

Camber was -1.7 on the left and -2.0 on the right. They were able to get it to -0.4 and -0.3 which is within the normal range. So I'm figuring they were trying to sucker me into buying crap I didn't need. Truck drifts/pulls a tiny bit but overall decent considering.

You're going to have to cut a small amount out of the upper control arm slot. I'm not sure how much, but I will know when I drop mine more.

Thanks for the advice. Although I don't think I take it lower. I'll eventually jump to a larger rim/tire combo and its my daily driver. Very happy with the ride as it stands. Thanks for the advice Tyler.

If its only that little would bother with it if pulling one way all the time that's a toe problem
