I just re dropped my truck to 3/5 and haven't gotten my alignment yet but was wondering could they fix the camber or would I need a camber kit

If I do need one what kit do I use I haven't had any luck on finding one except for one called trail master universal shim kit Amy help would be appreciated

Just because UNBROKEN was lucky enough, does not ness mean that your truck will be the same. The 'acceptable' variances in the frame are alarming large to me.

I had issues getting one side into spec while the other side had no issues.
Explain THAT one! We ended up grinding out the alignment slot ever so slightly to allow for more adjustment (This was on my '99, btw). Worked flawlessly.

That's where I am right now. I think I'm gonna slot the UCA mounts out or make some mounts that move the upper control arms up and out.

Ya I might have to be doing the same thing but I'll work on the rear end a little first since I got the front end to ride pretty smooth now with the alignment just the back is a little bouncy
