Negative Camber Help. Please!
Hi all. I'm a new user to this forum, as well as to trucks in general. Recently, I installed a 3 inch leveling kit (front coil spacers and rear blocks) on my 1998 F150, 2WD. Since then, I have noticed that I have had some pretty serious negative camber (/\), and I have no clue how to fix it aside from taking the kit out. Anybody have any suggestions? Thank you very much!

Installing coil spring spaces basically pushes the frame and body UP... just like jacking up the truck and letting the tires hang down.. The result change in camber is built into the design of the linkage. I don't see how you change that other than move the upper A frame as much as the adjustment allows.... A better way to get the LIFT is to use new spindles that have the lift built into the design..... the "blocks" are probably OK for 1-1.5 inch only.

no, the camber bolt kit is just a egg shaped washer type thing that goes over the adjustment bolt... rather than bumping the A-arm in and out, the "adjuster" allows you to move the bolt in and out easier..(SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE)... it does not give more or less adjustment.
