Default alignment

well i took my truck to get an alignment after lowering it 4/6, using belltech springs and spindle in the front and the flip kit in the back. Before lowering the truck the wheels were straight as can be but now they are butterflying in even after the alignment. The guy that did the alignment said that all lowered trucks would look like that because they are lowered, but i had read that the best alignment could be achieved when using spindles. any input ???? should i take it somewhere else to get an alignment done? if so, does anyone know where to take it in the houston area?

yup. you're going to have to live with a little negative camber. you can fix it by either notching the cams in the upper control arms, or buy purchasing some slightly longer DJM's.

I don't have any noticeable camber on mine, I'd try somewhere else.
