2" Autospring - Alignment
After putting a 2" Autospring leveling kit on a Scab, has anyone needed to replace the factory alignment cams before alignment could be done?

The shop that will install the 2" AS will do the alignment. They said with these trucks they sometimes need to put in a ~$300 ?caster/camber kit? (I think) to get the adjustment needed to bring it back in spec.
They will try the alignment without it first and it may not even be an issue. It's just something I never even considered until now.

No they shouldn't have to do anything like that, and if they tell you they do it might be time to find a new shop.

If the caster/camber is out and you dont have the cams
the only thing they can do is toe in/out

That's good because I should only need toe-in adjusted after the leveling kit.
thanks
