95 7.3 Belt and Front end issues

So my 95 7.3 zf5 has an obvious belt squeal. I took some JB and lightly sprayed both sides of the belt, and found the grooves side was causing the squeak.
does that entail a bad belt?
My truck also has some front end sag, I believe, because it’s got some pretty bad camber. The rake is about 2 3/4 inches, 36 in from ground to top of front wheel well, 38 3/4 from ground to top of rear wheel well. I wanted to level my truck and fit 33s, but i don’t know if i got new springs if it would level out, or if I should also get a 2” add a leaf.

They made a shim kit for the crank pulley to fix that belt squeal on your 95
Beautiful truck
The shim kits had 4 or so shims in a bag
Look at ebay item # 182882055678 F2TZ-6B306-B
That problem was on 92-94 trucks and was fixed by 95 supposedly.
Good luck
