How much modifying did it take to get the drivers side to fit?

I cut a piece out and replaced it with a flex pipe. The driver's side header dumps about 2-3" further back compared to the stock manifold.

Well I just got an alignment today, they put 2 1/2 degree bushings in but the camber is still off by +1.82 on the drivers side and +2.08 on the passenger side. I will post pics in my gallery.

From: Wanatah In,
Cool, I suppose if I get 3 1/2 deg bushings it should bring me pretty close. Even though i have 2wd the camber change should be relative, i guess if 3 1/2 is too much I can make some aluminum spring spacers to compensate.
Thanks for posting your results. What did the alignment cost if you dont mind me asking?

Well, after a little bit of trigonometry I figure I need to drop the pivot brackets 1.25" to make up for the 2* of camber.
