I was thinking something didn't look right, granted if I am wrong I am surfing from my Blackberry but it looked like the adjustment cams were adjusted up. I just had my dually aligned after dropping it 6-8 and my adjustment cam's stop is a little above the bottom. Mine aligned perfectly, I wished I had a PC to look at a better pic

i was thinking that it could be a potentional problem but i just figured they knew more then i did and would have knew which was positive and negative. So do you think the wheel is maxed for positive camber? Ill have to look for the alignment printout, it was a year ago

That don't look right, and when where these pics taken? The last 3 the shock isn't bolted in, or it pulled out.

Im going to take it back to the alignment shop and tell them to redo it. the pictures were taken right before I posted them on here. I was taking the springs out to see if they were cut and heated but they look almost like the stock springs. now im thinking about replacing the shocks while i already have everything apart. When should the shocks be replaced? i know its been more than 60K miles on them

it all depends on the shock... take it out, and press it down.... if it doesnt come back up, or comes back up really really slow, then its time for some new ones.
