Default ReadyLift!

I perchased a 2" ready lift about 8 months ago ... we put it on and everything was great .. untill i was noticing that the outside of my front tires were wearing out bad so i took it to get a alighnment and still it was wearing bad so i took it to 4wheelparts and they said i needed a Cambering KIT .. my question to yall is did yall have to perchase a camber kit for yalls truck also ?.. Cause i think they are trying to hustle me.

I do not know for sure that you would need the camber kit, but you will definitely need to get an alignment after you install the 2" lift kit. You gotta figure that raising the ride height 2" will change some angles in the suspension that would need re-alignment.
