    Hi guys, I'm new to TW and been looking for options to fix negative camber on my 2013 regular cab. I've installed x-runner's springs and shocks. I've also installed a Tundra Racing 1.5/2 " drop kit that was design for the XR. Now the truck looks very nice but ended up having a little bit of negative camber. Can anyone enlighten me on how can I fix this???

    Get it aligned, this is something that takes some very specialized tools and skills...your toe is out too...you changed the whole geometry of the front suspension with that drop...

    Take it to a competent alignment shop. Preferably one referred to you by some gearheads that do some racing, like autox.

    Most chain shops only know how to work to 'within spec' and get befuddled by specialty items. So unless you know a tech by name to ask for at one of those places, it's probably good to avoid them.

    Or have you done that and they've advised that they've taken out all they can already?

    up to 1.5° or so is not that bad if you rotate your tires regularly most can be corrected with eccentric bolts on the lower control arm or adjustable [sliding] ball joints. as the others said, get a competent alignment shop to do this. try to find one with a low or gound level alignment rack. i have had fun trying to get lowered vehicles onto raised racks in the past.

    Thanks guys! I went to a local shop and I was told that it wasn't possible to adjust it anymore. I'll try another shop that specializes in suspensions and do work with lowered cars. I'll let you know how that goes!
