Default Dealer believes I need a different camber kit to get vehicle in alignment

I don't believe I need a different camber kit to align properly, perhaps just an independent alignment specialist shop? Running same OEM 20" king ranch wheels and 1 1/2" spacers as well as 285/65 BF Ko2's on my 4x2. Anyone else struggle with this?

Thanks

Different than? What are you using now? They don't come with camber bolts from the factory. How far is it out? Do you have a printout?

I'll find out soon enough. I have 20" factory Platinum wheels on 275/65/20 BFG KO2 and I'll be doing 1.5" spacers as well. However, I'll be adding a 2.5" front spacer and 2.25" rear block. Waiting on the spacers to be shipped.

I spoke with the guy who is going to do the lift and spacers and he mentioned something about the 2015s and the alignment. Something about setting the right side negative to stop it from pulling. I'll talk to him again when I go in.

Same here...

I am looking at going with the FOX Stage 1 Suspension Package and set the front to 2" Level and maybe a 2.25 block swap in the back. Tires will be the KO2 275/60/20

Thanks, I look forward to what you find out.

Had dealer install camber kit front wheels/tires looks much better (the slant they had before is now gone) however still pulls slightly to the right, alignment spec sheet shows all parameters to be in line according to the dealer. Still not sure why it is pulling???? I can post specs here if there are any alignments specialists that can confirm my stats are good?

I'm taking mine in on the 14th. All my parts should be here by the 12th. It might be within factory spec but does that account for the geometry changes with what you've done to it? I'm not sure if that comes into play or not, I'm not an expert.

If it's spec and still off, maybe making it not spec (i.e. negative on one side) will fix it?

Someone on here has to know more about this than me and I'm sure they'll chime in with better information.

I've seen tons of people do leveling kits with spacers and they haven't mentioned any alignment issues or camber kits. Is this a 4x2 issue?

Mine's a 4x2 and I did full coilovers and 315/70/15's and it aligned to factory specs no problem; no camber kit required.

Took my truck in today for the 2.5" front and 2.25" rear with 1.5" wheel spacers. Got a call a few hours later saying everything went well but even after alignment it was pulling hard to the right. They bought a camber bolt kit from NAPA and he thinks this will correct it since the vehicle comes with the bolt holes from the factory but no bolts (I think thats what he said). He's supposed to call me in an hour with an update.
