Default Alignment Question for trucks with 4/6 and Torsion front suspension. Help needed...

I have the VHO in sig lowered 4/6 with McGaughys spindles and torsion keys up front. My alignment is cambered in and the alignment cams are maxed out. How do you guys align your trucks and what components did you use to lower it? Any help is appreciated. Ive called a few companies but they cant seem to comprehend what im getting at or are just to lazy to help.

I am not an alignment guy and my truck may be a little different but when I had mine done they added some caster and that allowed them to bring the camber to spec.

My truck is lowered on keys alone on the front so my drop is 3" not 4". Not sure if that and the spindles will make a big difference on your truck.

hey this is kind of old. but my SS is lowered 4 inch in the front with keys and spindles. today i installed the belltech +2 bushings for the upper control arms and its awesome. im getting it alligned first thing in the morning but the camber plate has plenty of adjustment right now and the tires are sitting flat. so i have room to go lower.

i paid 40 bucks to have the bushings pressed in and two new moog balljoints. that was with me bringing the arms to them.

I had the same problem and I had to buy some DJM upper control arms. That solved the problem
