proper camber???
« on: April 28, 2006, 01:56:31 PM »
Looking for guidance on setting the proper front camber, just install coil spacers and the front has about 5 degrees of positive camber, I know I need to slot the strut holes to adjust it, but how much?
 ??? ??? ???

How much lift lowrezolution? Looks really good ;D

Options:

Slot upper strut plate mount holes
Make offset upper strut spacers - 18mm from memory ( probably a good option if you are running stock struts )
Fit Old Man Emu struts and maybe slot top to dial it all in

I believe stock camber is 1.5 degrees negative

The spacers from boodbox are 1.5" but the netted 2.25" up front, i did add a second 3/4" spacer in the rear for 2.5" , the rear springs have been put to work and the truck has 265k on her. I also installed the strut extensions. I had my brother-in-law (gm tech) look at her, we've decided to die grind the holes in the strut to allow the hub assy to pivot inward. After this is complete he's going to stick it on the alignment rack and set it up properly.
Next project, 3" body lift (did you hear that Shredder?!?) ;)
Then the 31" tires, but I have a dilemma, I can go with TSL LTB's 31 x 11.5 or a mildly (-5%)used set of Mickey Thompson Baja Radials 33" x 11.5 on Polished Ultra wheels for less than the new LTB's?!? ???
