Camber bolts

Camber bolts
I put a Groundforce 2/4 drop on my truck (front coil springs rear leaf springs) and my front tires are wearing really bad on the inside of the tire. I thought I read some places that you may or may not need new camber bolts with a drop. The alignment shop was able to get my truck aligned but they said it was maxed out. I need some input on if someone makes special bolts and if so where to get them.
I never rotate my tires due to lazyness and I need all new tires anway so that accerates the wear, but most of the wear is on the inside like I said.

Camber
I was also told by my mechanic that the factory bolts don't offer enough adjustment and they replace them with an aftermarket piece. I feel like you only get +/- 1 degree with the factory kit but the after market is +/- 2 degrees. Check out Rock auto as they offer a couple of different kits.

Camber bolts don't change how much your camber can be adjusted. They just make it easier for the alignment tech.
At only 2" of drop in the front, I doubt that you're "maxed out". You should have no issue getting the truck within specs at only 2" of drop. But in the event that your camber requires more adjustment than permitted by the factory holes, your only option is to enlarge the lower control arm bolt holes on the subframe. They're already oval in shape to allow for camber adjustment, but you would grind them further towards the center of the truck.
