I'm tired of my horrible turning radius with the MCG spindles and have decided to give the belltech drop struts a try and see how they work out. Reading through the instructions they state there is a possibility of the camber being out of OE spec without using 2degree upper control arm bushings to correct.

Those of you with 4wd and at 2 inches of drop do you know if they were able to nail the camber at OE for your or are they for sure going to be off and I need to order the upper control arm bushings. I want all the parts to do this once and right and be done with it and enjoy it.

 

I'm 2wd and my camber adjust is almost maxed at 1" of belltech drop
An avalanche I did at work did the 2" and we used thebushings and it turned out perfect
Caster will always be more positive then spec but that's just a fact with lowering plus its good for higher speeds haha
So yes get the bushings
When I have to do my upper ball joints ill be doing those bushings at the same time

 

Do the bushings. Otherwise your alignment will be "borderline" at best.

 

I ordered the struts from summit 191 to my door.

I went ahead and ordered belltech 4957 kit. It's the bushings and the alignment eccentrics figured if all I need is bushings then great because it's my luck to just order bushings and then need the alignment eccentrics on saturday at 3 in the afternoon and not be able to finish the truck.

 

Most cases you will only need the bushings. Extreme drops need the cam plates as well.

 

What's the seperate part numbers for the bushings and plates not the kit

 

Bushings (2 degree) - 4955
Cam Plates (1 degress) - 4951
