The strut bolts to the knuckle with 2 bolts. The top bolt is the on you modify. Here's how I did mine for a 2.25" total front lift:
I removed the top bolt, then pushed the spindle in towards the strut until it stopped.
I used a die-grinder with a good cutting bit, and ovalized the hole till the bolt went back in and through the knuckle.
Done!

I have a thread here somewhere with a few pictures, I'll find it and update later.

I just bought adjustable camber bolts and they worked awesome.  I searched around the net and found them for only $16 for the set.  Priority shipping w/insurance was $9.90, so for $25.90 I got it done quick and easy.  Here's a link for the place I bought them.  They are sold by a ton of companies as adjustable camber bolts #81250 and the same bolts fit a bunch of applications since you are just going by the bolt diameter.  For a Track/Kick it is a 12mm bolt.

just go to your local auto parts store. they sell for 20.00 for the set.  much easier than messing with a grinder or the internet. (in my opinion)
1991 Geo Tracker 33" super swampers + 4" lift + minor fender trimming + locker = unstoppable!

That works too.  I couldn't find them locally though.

Tonyman you have any pics of your rig?
