1997 F150 front suspension query

Hi guys, my 2wd f150 is lowered, 2 and 4 i believe, anyway the query is concerning the camber, i bought this truck last year, already lowered, chopping/scalloping out the insides. I have had the wheel alignment done, they said the camber was at its full extent (?) and still needed more adjustment, hence why the insides are chopping out.

my question is, should i look at replacing the lowered springs with standard/.original ones and putting a set of dropped spindles to obtain my 'lowered stance' ?

Or is there another method to get the camber better......

Thanks so much in advance

Brad

Have adjustable camber bolts been installed on the upper control arm?

Simply look at them and see if they have an adjustable cammed head on the bolt. If you don't have adjustable camber bolts, they are available for around $50 at most all parts stores.
