Default help with camber

alright, today i installed a set of 2" rough country lift springs and after the install was all said and done my camber was way off. on the upper control arm there is a plate and if the plate was removed the upper control arm could be moved over, now does anyone know if i can just take the plate off and slide the control arm over and bolt everything back up again or if need to get a camber alignment kit?

That would cause your UCA's to slip out often throwing your alignment off often. Try another alignment shop if they cant get it in, get a camber bolt set. I got my camber spot on with out new camber bolts.

Most likely DONT drive your truck without an alignment, everything will be destroyed in a very short amount of time.
