Default Alignment bushings or UCA too?

So this is how my aligment is set up because my truck is lower than stock in the front and the adjustment cams are maxed out. I also think the frame is tweaked from the previous owner hitting something, but im not sure.

Would the normal 2* aftermarket bushings be enough to get it in spec or would I need the plates and aftermarket uca's as well?

I'd try bushings only since they are easiest lol. You're not that far out of the ballpark where you're at but there's definitely room for improvement. The caster is the biggest concern I believe.

I told the tech guy tire wear is my biggest concern since my radials wear so fast. He had to blow out the caster to get the toe and camber close. I just wasnt sure if another 2 degrees would give me enough room to line up everything how it should be.
