Post NBS Silverado Crew Cab Camber issues

I currently have a belltech 641sp kit for my 2008 silverado 1500ls.It's a 4.8 v8 crew cab sitting on 26" rims 305/30/26. i have the 4/6 setup on it and currently having a bit of negative camber issues. with tires costing 600+$ each i want to resolve this issue ASAP. my question is do you guys reccomend doing an upper control arm, a lower control arm or both. The kit is setup with the 2" drop spindle, stock springs, and the belltech shock strut set to 2 inch drop for a total of 4" up front. Alignment is pretty dead on its just camber i am worrying about. I've heard DJM control arms work with the belltech kit but i am not sure. I've seen the other related post but it didnt really explain too much. it was more people arguing about belltech DJM and Mcgaughy's. Please keep in mind of my rim size 33.20" overall diameter. thanks Any info would be helpful, thanks

I don't see why the belltech “camber kit“ wouldn't work for you. I used some Moog offset uca bushings (which I beleve are similar to what the belltech kit is...?) in my factory uca's and it gave me some extra camber alignment adjustment.

I think the Mcgaughy site has a blurb about messed up alignment w/ some mfgrs kits..
Might apply here???
