We often hear "hey I lowered my truck and now it won't align. What can I do to fix it?"

On the 99-14 Silverado/Sierras there is a fix. Here is how to get your truck back within specs

1" to 4" Drop you can use Belltech Part# 4955 that includes just the 2 degree bushings.

5"+ Drop you can use Belltech Part# 4955 and 4951. This will include the 2 degree bushings and 1 degree cam plates.

The bushings alone on a 5"+ drop will correct the camber but it will create to much caster. Too much caster will cause your tire to rub on the rear of the fenderwell (closest to firewall).

Please note that the bushings will need a press for installation and the cam plates will need a dremel tool. Here is a photo of the modification needed for the cam plates.
