1997 2WD 2" leveling kit issues

I've searched, can't find anything definitive other than do a SAS which isn't in the cards.

I have a 1997 F250 HD 2WD PSD. I installed a 2" coil spacer kit and can't get camber right, even with MOOG's two piece camber bushing kit. Only drop brackets I see are for F150's or 4WD F250's

Anyone out there figured out how to do a leveling kit without breaking the bank? I'm about to return these spacers and call it a day... (oh but it looks so good leveled out... :-/ ... )

The only thing to do is trim the radious arm where the knuckle is hitting( upper ball joint part) i dont know how safe it will be after removing some meat though.

4 wheel parts did this for me on my 04 twin i beam back in 07. I was told they got it true but when I did ball joints in 2015, the aligament shop said they couldn't get it perfect but got it close. I didn't notice uneven wear over the years. Sold the truck in 2016.
