Re: Performance Steering & Handling?

Shooting from the hip here, but if memory still serves me, the camber was in the +.08 to +1.1 range. One side has no threads showing past the upper control arm nuts and the other side has maybe 2 threads showing.

I looked at putting longer bolts in with custom spacers to replace most of the shims but the truck has a LT1 in it and room is at a premium. The current UMI upper arms have 1/2 longer ball joints so if I get UMI adjustable uppers I can reuse the ball joints. UMI says their adjustable uppers are approximately 1/2" shorter than the non-adjustable uppers when fully shortened.

The front and rear suspension has less than 1500 miles on it. The rest of the truck has over 220k miles with the first owner being the US Forest Service. The engine has under 500 miles since being rebuilt. I recently purchased the truck and am getting things dialed in.
