    Years ago, I recall some of the trucks that were running serious off road would swap the lower suspension arm cams for oversize bolts to prevent the cams from slipping.

    Has anyone been doing this anymore?

    Yes, it does make alignment slightly more effort without cams, but once set nothing moved. The oversize bolts really locked the arm in position.

    There is a guy that did a custom front end set up out west i believe. He worked with JD Fabrications, anyhow did exactly as you are talking, and added a locked plate so they could move once set.
    35's with minimal trimming is the thread title i believe. Lots of good ideas in there.
