Camber/Caster Kits Question
 
I just installed a Belltech #25001 front adjusting drop shock on my 06 FX4 Supercab. My 1st attempt to lower it with my OEM spring and insirting a 1/2 (5/16") spacer, dropped it 3 1/2". Now it's way lower than i wanted, and after a full alignment i still have a negative camber. I found out later they gave me a 2WD instructions install sheet, instead of a 4x4 one. So now i am redoing it, and looking for a 1 3/4" to 2" lower than 4x4 stock, which is what i was originally going for. The kit (Belltech #25001) came with 5 spacers, 2 at 5/16" and 3 at 5/8" for adjustments from 3" drop to a 1" lift. So i'm hoping a full spacer and a 1/2 spacer will give me that 1 3/4" drop i'm looking for. Has anyone other than 05RedFX4 installed this kit on a 4x4? And also anyone know about Camber/Caster Kits to correct the negative camber that will be present after the install? I wanna save my tires from premature wearing. I'll post pictures in my photo album. Thanks all in advance. Cheers Al

You probably will need eccentric cam bolts. The stock cam bolts look like regular old bolts. The eccentrics have a large oblong washer that gives the tech more slack when he positions the upper conrtol arm, and thus, allows him to achieve a correct alignment.
