Camber Correction after install of "leveling kit" - 1995 F150 4x4
So I found an inexpensive "leveling kit" which raises the front to be equal to the rear. I like the look but it's thrown the camber way out (more than I expected). The local shop told me that they needed "3-4 hours" to mess around with eccentrics because this year truck doesn't use shims.
Are there alternatives? Different arms, kits, etc to correct this or am I going to have to eat it at the shop? My biggest fear was that they put in 3-4 hours and didn't achieve the correction necessary.
Advice appreciated.

Thanks! Any recommended sources?
While I am at it. I took some measurements and it looks like I can fit 33's or even 34's with a mod to the front bumper. (thinking about having my kid weld me a custom one from pipe). I am not familiar with the recommended width for these types of tires. I saw some 33x12.5x15's for sale. I am going to look for the largest, quietest tire that I can find. Looking for height and looks vs crazy tread. Any suggestions?

Find a reputable shop with a guy who has some gray in his beard who has aligned a dana 44 front end or 2 in his lifetime. I just had this done for $150 and that included the bushings, install and alignment.
You can probably get 32's to fit but 33's will rub on the radius arms at full lock, and might require some bumper trimming. I stuck with 31's on mine for mpg purposes.

33x10.5R15 has a limited selection of tires. I was looking at the BFG KO2s until the DC extreme country tires went on sale. Saved enough to get a new spare to match plus pay for shipping. I have a few pictures in my gallery.
