I was just wondering if you guys have incorporated the castor setup in the arms when you designed them so you don' t need as many shims at ride height? When I assembled my control arms I simply replaced the shims that I had in there with a 2" Beltech Spindle drop. Should I take these shims back out and have them redo my alignment cause it seems like there' s way too many in there for it' s own good? I think there' s like 4 in the rear and about 5-6 shims in the front! I' m just wondering if maybe that' s why my castor is reading so high? I' m just basically asking if you guys designed them to be as close to factory at ride height with as little shims as possible? Thanks

I think you might be talking about camber. We did shorten the lower arm a bit to correct the camber. We also fixed the ball joint anble. The caster was in good shape, so we left it alone.

Thanks Darren, that was the info I was looking for. I think I' ll pull the shims out and get them to redo the alignment again.
