I've got the ground force springs in the front of my 15' cc sport 4x4 and I'm wondering if there's a way to fix the camber in the front end.. it wrecks the tires. I've had it in for alignment twice already.

Try a better alignment shop. I cut my fronts more than the ground force drop about and still got it back in spec with no tire wear issue.

It's been a few years but I remember I cut enough that the spring was loose on the front strut if it wasn't under load think it was just over 2"

I have a '13 Crew Cab with the GF and have the same issue. I think the issue is the there is no more adjustment left with the camber bolt. It maxes out just before it gets within specs. Mine is out of spec but just by a little bit. I'll look for my sheet and post it up, maybe it will be helpful.

I dropped my front 4" and still could get the camber back into spec with the factory adjustment keys, your shop isn't doing something right.

My old 2 wheel drive 13 didn't have enough adjustment on the camber bolts to bring it back into spec with a 2" spring drop,it was close,but never right in spec.That's one of the reasons I went to dropped spindles instead,and won't do a front spring drop again on one of these trucks.

You need these:
SPC Dodge Ram 1500 Ball-Joint part # 23940.
spc23940.jpg


Its an offset balljoint that allows precise adjustment.

"If your Dodge Ram 1500 has been lifted or lowered you may not have enough factory adjustment range to properly align your truck. This Specialty Products Company upper control arm ball-joint is designed specifically for use on Dodge Ram 1500 series trucks built on the 5-lug chassis. This item will NOT fit Mega Cab models! With this ball-joint you can gain up to 2.0 degrees of camber or caster. Simply replace the ball joint in the factory stock upper control arm to get plus or minus 2.0 degress of caster, camber, or a combination of the two. You can then perform the final adjustments using the factory alignment cams."
