Dont get skunk2's or bloxs they will BLOW out on yeah. Very unsafe. You can try to get some Cucso's but they are a bit pricey.

You cant adjust the camber on OEM upper arms, however id just replace your worn ones with new OEM spec arms, camber kits are a waste of money imo, theres no downside to have camber if you get your allignment spot on

Ive had 2.5 degrees of negative camber on the front using toyo proxes which are crazy soft and wear so quickly :roll: and ive done 5k miles and my tyres show no signs of wear at all...

too much total toe will cause more tire wear than anything. Camber is beneficial for cornering.


As far are camber kits, Skunk2 Pro kits are pretty good the version 2 where the allen wrench bolts face upwards. These have the best results vs the older skunk2 version 1s.


SPC/ingalls also have very good kits.

I'm learning things too, i don't know much about suspension. So i probably wont need them either. Just an aliment.
