    Hey everyone. First post but long time lurker.
    A few months ago I upgraded my front suspension to some Eibach 2.0 and SPC control arms. I had it aligned at a local shop here in Phoenix after I installed it and it drives great, but I'm about to put some new rubber on and I noticed that I have some positive camber going on. I don't want to prematurely wear my new tires. I know I can adjust that with my control arms but I'm wondering if I can do that without throwing everything else off, or if I should just find a shop familiar with my setup. Any advice is much appreciated!

    These trucks are supposed to have a touch of positive camber. You can adjust it simply by sliding the ball joint inwards but don’t go too far as the boot hits the coil spring at max setting.

    If they use the lower arms to adjust camber down usually caster comes down with it causing rubbing on big tires.

    Thanks for the response. So if I understand you correctly, I can slightly adjust my camber with my upper control arm and it shouldn't effect my toe or caster?

    Adjusting your camber will affect toe. Sliding the ball joint in (negative)will push the toe out. Toe is the last thing to be adjusted when alignments are done.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Camber and toe all play off of each other on the SPC.

    If you change one, it’ll change the other.
