I have been searching on this forum and i have found great information, BUT i still don't know which way i should fix my issue ..Let me explain...
A few months ago I purchased the DJM 2/3 drop which included the 2inch front torsion key drop and the rear springs. As soon as i did the install i liked the results of the stance/height but i definitely needed an alignment. The camber on the passenger side was BAD. I went ahead and got to a shop to do the alignment and after an hour of waiting im told that they cant adjust the camber on that passenger wheel because its maxed out. I didn't think of dropping it two inches would give me such an issue. I went home and played with the height so i could get that camber more center but this was with home measuring tools and by eye. I know i had to do something because now it looked like the front was higher then the rear. I went ahead and installed my rear airlift bags which i already had thinking maybe i could use them to lift the rear that little bit get the truck more level and then get the alignment done again. Well the airlift did help and made the truck level but didn't help with the alignment. My friends father has a shop and we tried to center it all with the current height it didn't work. He told me i only need that one more degree on that passenger wheel and it should be fine. The bottom line is that after all this playing with height, alignment i'm basically back to the standard height or close to it. I also installed the stock torsion keys thinking maybe get lucky and see if that would help.... nothing.
The question now is do i go with the camber kit by beltech to get me that one degree which then i would have to leave it at the current height which is not what i was looking for or get spindles spend the money and call it a day? I use the truck every day as a daily driver and my goal was just a minor drop without spending so much. Please let me know your oppinions as soon as possible. Need to try to order something today. If i drive the truck the way it is i will be installing new tires on top of the current new tires hahah.

You cant see the passenger wheel that great but the camber is bad.
