Default Front Allignment

i have a 2wd 05 silverado ss which has torsion front end. i lowered the front 2 inchs with spindles and like 2 or so inchs with keys. the camber will not go into spec and its very noticeable just looking at it.

i found these camber bolts for the upper a arms thatg will bring it in enough to fix this. but they state they are for a 2wd. which makes me think coil sprung front end. does anyone know if they will work on this? anyone have any other idea besides switching to control arms? i dont wanna be that guy going through tires all the time

I assume that you are talking about the upper control arm eccentrics, not the upper control arm bushings. The eccentrics and bolts just bolt in. Any alignment shop can then set your camber/caster/toe.

Specialty Products makes it, part #SP86320, and should be available at parts stores. DJM also markets it, and Stylin' Trucks also sells it.

got the bushings in today and some new moog upper balljoints. along with my front belltech street's. the camber is beyond fixed lol. im gonna lower it more then do a flip kit i think.

i go at 1130 tomorrow for allignment im gonna adjust the keys before he does it to get it just right.

i went to 3 places and they all said they cant do it you need a specail tool. one place said they could but for 100 bucks. and then told me i cant replace upper balljoints i have to buy a whole new upper control arm for 220 each.

so i went to sears auto where i use to work and my buddy pressed the bushings in and pressed the moogs in for 40 bucks. and was done in like 25 mins.
