Upper control arm shims now?

I noticed I have a bunch of negative camber after putting my suspension parts back on the frame after painting.
Then I realized I didnt put any of the shims back on the upper control arms.

Since the cab and fenders are still off and its easy to get to should I put some in and eyeball it or just wait and let the alignment shop deal with it when I get everything buttoned up?

See this thread from BMERDOC: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=487363

Let the shop deal with the shims.

Re: Upper control arm shims now?

Mine was shimmed so far out before rebuild that the nut did not grab all the threads on the stud. Turns out this was due to compensating for a broken spring. I put a few shims in to get it close, then let the shop deal with it.
