Grabbed the camber bolts at lunch.



This should allow another 1.75 degrees of much needed camber.

I will put those in tonight before I get my alignment done and that, plus replacing the bolts in the fender should eliminate the rubbing, I HOPE!!!
How's it ride with the stiffer springs?? Did you do all 4 of them or just rears, or fronts?? I'll have to take a ride in your box to see how it feels witht he new springs.

They only have an option for stiffer springs in the front and not the rear for some reason. Your guess is as good as mine. I noticed it to be a little bit stiffer, though not harsh in any way. It took all of the bounce out of the travel due to having to preload the spring to increase rebound. Just getting ready to leave work and stop by Lowe's for a couple of replacement screws for the fender to bumper brackets.
