    What do you mean maxed at -2.3? Is -2.3 too much negative camber for you?

    There are two tabs per LCA and both affect camber and castor. If -2.3 is too much camber for your alignment preference, you can rotate the cam bolts shorter. If -2.3 is not enough camber, you can rotate the cam bolts longer.

    Rotate the cam bolts negative and you'll have less camber ;)
    Start with the front bolt so you keep as much caster as possible.

    Look at the picture I posted. You said it's all the way positive (as in the bolt is as far away from the engine as possible). If you rotate the bolts the opposite direction (so it moves towards the engine), it will reduce camber.

    the bolt is as close to the engine as possible.....so i looked at my old alignment sheet from a few months ago and it was

    left camber -0.6 and right -1.8


    NOW ITS

    left camber -2.3 and right -0.3


    so its like my good side and my bad side switched!

    Really? I thought they were Chinese or something. It's pitted and not fully "bonded" under the powder coating too.. I guess it's good that the axle is the weak link and not the diff...

    If both cam bolts are 90* inside, then my guess is you either have a bent spindle, bent UCA or LCA, or bent frame.

    yeah but for both sides to just switch like that? i doubt its a bent spindle...and if its a bent frame.....im gonna die haha , front lt would fix this. But i cant afford that at all right now.

    I mentioned it earlier in your build thread. Literally , the Currie shafts that AllPro uses are the strongest aftermarket shafts you will find anywhere

    Anthony, you can take from the caster (rear cam) to get more positive camber

    Negative camber isn't going to kill your tread, it's the toe that will. If you have been beating on your truck and you don't have a shock tower brace you can be sure that it will start to bend in a bit causing camber changes.
