Hey yall I made a post a while ago but I want to get some more opinions. I installed a 3.5” spindle lift for my 2wd 07 2500, the alignment is “atrocious” according to the alignment shops. First shop said they couldn’t align the camber for some reason. Second shop said they most likely wouldn’t be able to adjust the camber but there’s a slim chance( I have an appointment for Thursday for them to try). They strongly recommended I get adjustable upper control arms. I’m just really confused how the right side camber is fine however they can’t adjust the left. Does anyone have thoughts on this or tips? Do you think I’ll be able to align it? Attached is a pic of the cam bolt I believe, it’s on the lower control arm.

Others will post however from your picture something for sure off does not look like it sitting right in the front possibly something is bent? I havent lifted many of these trucks personally but It appears adjustable upper control arms are a common thing that is needed.

There is no camber adjustment on the 2500s. If it says you have camber either something is bent or they suck at measuring.

CASTER is adjustable. I tried to adjust mine as well, all 260lbs of me was bouncing on a 2ft pry bar trying to break those adjustment bolts loose and I decided it wasn't happening when I could see the head of the bar was starting to break. Some reading looks like its a pretty common issue and you have to cut the bolts and torch the bushings. If you're careful that's all you need to replace but the shop is just gonna charge you so I'm sure that's why they just want you to buy new ones, so they can just hack off the old ones care free.
