    So after I put the drop spindles in I ended up having quit a bit of positive camber because my upper arms were longer than stock. My friend had the opposite issue on his daily, he had too much negative camber. Since I had a bunch of shims just to get it at 0 camber and he didn't have any and had a bunch of negative camber we decided to swap arms. Now we're both pretty much where we need to be with no shims. Bonus for me was that his arms are a bit narrower so I have more clearance for my brakes now. I can reach full lock and they don't hit the arms anymore.

    Today's score. OEM Toyota flares. The smaller version which are found on some 6 lug trucks from i think 2000 and 01-04 s-runner models.
