Any suspension alignment techs on the board???

I have done some altering to my 2x4 front suspension (taller springs)and have a question about how far I can go (raise)before it cant be alligned.

Camber or toe?

Drop me a PM if you know about this stuff. I would like an idea before I finish it, load it on the trailer and haul it to the allignment shop and they tell me its too far out.

Basically when you shim the upper control arm out.....is it a one to one action. Does 1/2 of shims get you more than a 1/2 of correction?

Thanks

Generally 1/8" of shims will move the camber setting 1/4 degree.
