Just trying to see what everyone else has experienced. I used the Moog cam bolt kit. It is supposed to adjust up to 2.5 degrees. I had some serious gangsta lean. It is much better now, but is still off a bit. I'm about 3.5" down in front. How did everyone else make out with their kits???

I have 20"s on my truck and I still have a good amount of camber. Truck does not lean as you described, though it took Firestone 2 tries to get it right (first time the steering wheel was off center). As for the truck looks good, did you remove your bumpstops?

front bumpstops are removed, rear bumpstops are a fraction of what they once were. I need to bite the bullet and cut/weld in a mini c-notch into the rear frame.

I also found out that my front upper ball joints were shot(thanks cheap autozone parts), that is what contributed to my wheel lean/neg camber
 






Yea, I was thinking about that today actually and was like mm.. probably creeks like an old mattress built of metal. I would go with the adjustable ones from raysbestos, they are heavy duty and will take the abuse of the lowered truck much longer. Good luck with the c-notch I have mine and haven't started yet because that only fixes the back, the front spindles need the same amount of love if not more since no one makes drop spindles.. well they do but its $550 for the pair.
