Default Alignment problems on 02 2500 hd

I have a 02 2500 hd . It has the "leveling kit" lift from my knowledge. 1 1/2 blocks in the back and i believe the ford keys. It look to be about 3 inch lift. Are yall running into problems with not having enough adjusment for caster and camber? Someone told me they sell aftermarket upper a-arms that are either longer or have more adjustment? Is this true? Its a couple of degrees out on both sides camber worse that caster. Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks for any help

You won't be able to use "factory specs" after installing a lift-level kit. Use these specs instead.

Left caster 2.0 degrees
Right caster 2.5 degrees

Left camber 0 degrees
Right camber -0.25 degrees

Toe-in -1/32" or -0.087 degrees

Ok thanks a lot. And these specs will allow the tire to wear evenly? If properly rotated? thats my only real concern. As of right now it drives stright but i can tell left side the camber is out pretty good.

Yes, and rotate your tires every 4-5000 miles. Check the alignment again in 6 months.
