im having an issue with my 2010 silverado nnbs. I lowered the truck 6 inches in the front using belltech 2 inch drop struts, DJM 2 inch drop springs and belltech 2 inch drop spindles. Im having a problem correcting the negative camber on the truck and the upper ball joints look out of whack. I was wondering if the DJM upper control arms would fix the camber problem? or if you guys had any other suggestions to fix the problem.

Hmm, what about the adjustable cam bushings? I think that's what they're called

I think those only give 2 degrees. I need more than that

Belltech alignment kit, re-indexed Cam plates, offset bushings and belltech 2511 spindles. I still have room for adjustment in the cam plates at 5" drop.

There you go xteam

I have the 2511 spindles, struts and alignment bushings. Should I grab the cam plates to for safe measure?

I've installed the cam plates twice. Grinding out the slot in the upper control arm mounts for the extra adjustment sucks. I would avoid it if you can.

Sorry, I'm confused. You have to grind out the slots in the uppers to install new plates?
Is that the "re-indexing" you're talking about?

I was shooting for 4" but if 5" is possible I'm definitely going that route.

The slot limits the adjustment. You need to extend the slot 3/8-1/2" towards the pin as shown in the picture. The re-indexed belltech cam plates then let the UCA bolt slide into the extended slot area. Full instructions are on the belltech website. Grinding out the slot with a die grinder isn't fun.

A 1/4" diameter burr in a right angle die grinder would make quick work of it but they tend to grab and bounce around. You'll have more control over an 1/8" diameter burr but it takes forever. Either way I was covered in fine needle-y metal chips. That's the part I hate. I work with mean too, its the really fine chips that hurt the most and are hardest to dig out.
