Default How can i fix my camber ?

I have an 03 silverado, It's dropped 5" in the front and 7" in the rear. Brand new tires last me about 6 months ! I'm tired of buying tires lol. I already done 2 alignments on the truck and I still get camber wear on my front tires. Is there something I can buy to fix my camber ? Camber is at -3* as long as I can bring it down to at least -1* should be good.

Don't know how you are lowered but I'm 5/7 with drop spindles and coil-overs and everything else is still stock and I was able to align it just fine.

my specs:


Search for a camber kit there are a few out there.

In the front I'm lowered with a 3" eibach spring and a 2" belltech spindle, in the rear is lowered by a 6" djm flip kit and cnotch with a 2" belltech shackle set at 1" drop.

How hard is to put the 1* plates ?

I'm using drop spindles and struts on my Tahoe. I got it aligned with camber bushings. Used SPC's bushings only, didn't need plates on mine.

Dont do the plates unless you have to. They sell 2* bushings with 1* plates if you need them.

Yeah the offset UCA bushings will cure it. I used a cheap ball joint press to get my old ones out and the new ones in. Just make sure they are all symmetrical.
I got mine from Moog. I think the Bell tech ones have even more extreme offset.

Thanks, I got a hold of the suspension source. I think they fixed me up.
