Okay so my car needed the Belltech caster/camber kit and I got it installed and aligned my camber went into spec no problem! However my caster is a different story according to Firestone where I have a lifetime alignment and they say my caster won't go into spec and the paper they gave me says the following :
Drivers side .60
Passenger -.61

When I look at the caster adjustments it seems to me it could be adjusted quite a bit more is my local Firestone stupid or is it my car?

It's just drop struts and my camber was way off visible lean on both sides

With my old kit I had was just spindles and even with that my trucks camber was off...

ive never had one truck ive done not align with the drop struts. there is mroe than enough there to dial it in. Especially with the camber bushings you should be green in all areas.

my truck we put on the rack yesterday and it barly got into spec on camber but im at 2 3/4 lower than stock in front with spindles and I modified my struts. There is no way with just 2 inch drop struts you should be out especailly with the camber bushings

I'm not questioning you I'm questioning Firestone.
I guess I'll take it to a different shop.

I understand when he told me that I thought it was impossible. Then Saturday I was painted my calipers and I saw the caster adjustments while the wheel was off and it didn't seem like they even tried to adjust it there was about half an inch of adjustment on one side and at least an inch on the other ImageUploadedByTapatalk1348456114.331944.jpg
There i just took that
