How bad was your camber? Did an alignment fix it?
Camber came right in, had to get the tie rods shortened somewhere around 3/8" to get toe right. There is plenty of thread on the tie rod to shorten it, but the tie rod end isn't deep enough to thread it all the way in. If you want to go any lower, would probably need different tie rods or extend the threads further down the rod, the jam nut to keep them tight is right on the end of the threads.

Ok. I'm not looking to go any lower just trying to correct the camber. I'm thinking about buying adjustable control arms to correct the camber. Any thoughts on that?

With the BT kit, camber shouldn't be a problem at all, I would be more worried about getting the toe right without modifying things than camber. There is enough adjustment from the factory to get the camber correct.

If you tried to go with a 4/6 or 5/7 drop, camber would become an issue and I would probably go with the IHC kit, they use adjustable upper arms, their design on lowers with factory springs up front to get a 4" drop.

Wasn't able to get full side shots on level ground, but yesterday I removed the truck hemi badges from the fenders and replaced with charger/challenger style hemi badges. I really wanted the fenders to have some hemi identification on them, but the truck ones were just big and kinda ugly to me.

I am closer to 3/4.5 or 5.
How did it go getting your front down to 3". That's what im looking to do on my regular cab. Already have the Belltech 2/4 on. Rear is fine to bring down another inch. Worried about alignment and cutting the front springs a little more

Read my responses at this link. I think I have posted what I did to get mine where it is now about 3 or 4 times now. It is all good, but boy does it get to be a pain typing ot all out.

i don’t see the rear being dropped 5”. It looks like it has 1.5” of rake. If it was 3/5 it would be level, no?
The pic in your garage looks like the rear is dropped way more than this but it’s in dark shadows so you can’t really see the fender gap.
Look at the rear fender gap in my avatar. That’s a 2” drop. I can’t imagine yours is 3” lower than that.
