Camber question

[Rollin on Dueces]

I have just lowered the car (alot) and the car sits perfect, it is just that the rear wheels are cambers way to much. I see that spc and I am sure there are other companies out there that make a camber correction kit. My question is, how much adjustment do I need? I see that there is .75 adjustment and 1.5 adjustment. Here is a pic to show how off the camber is, and any info would be greatly appreciated!

Obviously I know that I am going to have to roll the fenders to do this, because there is hardly any room at all between the inner lip and the tire right now.

here is another view to see the camber

I really wouldn't even sweat it. I can almost guarntee that by the time the tires would have been eaten up you will have already swapped wheels. Having you toe off is worse and will eat tires faster then camber all day long.


Take my ram for instance... I think it had somthign like 10* negative camber and I got 15k out of the tires on it.

i have the 1.5 bushing and when i drove around that low with the bags the side wall of the tire touched the fender, so i just trimmed a bit and had no problems. Having that much camber, i'd suggest just getting the 1.5

If you had an alignment since you lowered your car, use the camber numbers from the alignment spec/print-out sheet to figure out how big an adjustment you need.

If you are more than 1.5 degrees out of range/spec, then I would assume you need the 1.5 kit.

Here is an example of my camber numbers from my last alignment.
My car is lowered about 1.25" on the front and 1.5" in the rear.

Actual......Specified Range
LF -0.6.......-0.5 to 0.5
RF -1.3.......-0.8 to 0.2
LR -1.4......-1.3 to -0.1
RR -1.7......-1.3 to -0.1

I would much rather have negative camber than positive camber.

So in my case I would need the 0.75 bushings, as the 1.5 bushings
would put me into the positive camber area.
In fact, I would not even change my LF -0.6 camber as a positive adjustment of 0.75 would put me into positive camber.

Since your car is lower than mine, I am guessing you might need the 1.5 for the rears, and 0.75 on the fronts.

Thanks for the info guys, I havent aligned it yet, because I may end up changing the rear shocks, and possibly do the camber kit and also may go ahead and change the outer tie rods on my car, so I am going to order those and then take it to get aligned. Also I want to put a few hundred miles on them just in case the springs settle. I just want to do one alignment.

Hey Grounded, man that ram is CRAZY!!!

[GROUNDED]

That pic was like 4 years old... the ram now has a full 1 off frame being built in my garage. It will lay flat out on a 285/35/22 front and somthign like a 335/55/22 rear.

That is crazy man! Sound like you know a thing or two about suspensions
