basically, but due to liability issues, most won't do that.

Yes i agree, the guy knows alot of "tricks" if you will. He explained the basic consept and I helped rasp out the holes everyone else gets a "camber kit" 150 bucks with alignment.

Hi guys, i just install a 6" FABTECH lift kit in my pickup truck. I bought used and missing the camber bolts. Are those really necessary to put properly align my pickup?, and know if the AUTOZONE kit can work with Fabtech suspension? or I have to buy the kit Fabtech sells?

i don't know for certain with the fabtech but most you need something to locate the lower control arm bolts because they are in a slot and I'd assume without them, you'd be slipping out of alignment all the time. i think most of the f150's i've see leveled, lifted, and stock seem to have slightly too much positive camber because the outside edge of the tires seem to wear (i know it's common for all vehicles to have more wear on the outside edge of the steering tires a little) more so than on other truck
