    They didn't offer any suggestions to frozen cams but im gonna look into it. Will any of my numbers affect the tire life or daily driving of the truck?

    Well just like mentioned above you need way more caster! Your tires will be fine but you'll just hate your truck on the freeway! I would find a different shop that is willing to wrestle with your cam tabs. I've been through this on my 05 by the way and my guy just handled it with out replacing the cams...however every case is different.

    I think I might wrestle with them a little bit today and see if I can get them to budge. Thanks for the help and the link.

    spray a lot of PBBlaster or something like that, several times, let is sit and penetrate, then give it a go....
