Ingalls camber kit.. Something I can do myself, or will I need a mechanic?

Ok, so I got a camber kit since I was told that I needed it before an alignment could be done. Is this something I can install myself? How difficult is it to install? Thanks.

Depends on your ability:

Skunk2 Pro is an easier installation on the front, IMHO as you just replace the
arms.

It is a pretty self explanatory install. Remove the lower arms and replace the arms with the Ingalls kit. Just make sure to read the instructions to know how to thread the bars correctly.

Use anti-seize on the suspension bolts, and ingalls arm threads. You want the arms to adjust smoothly if future adjustment is needed later on. Follow the instructions closely.

Only real problem you might have is removing stubborn seized suspension bolts. I would find a friend that knows about suspension work, to help out.

^This guy is talking about the front camber kit.

You didn't reference which camber kit you got (front or rear), so I just wanted to clarify because there's conflicting info in this thread.

^+1. Front or rear camber kit?


I installed mine in very little amount of time. Just unbolt old and replace with new. For the rear i adjusted the ingalls arms as close to my factory arms as I could get. For the front i maxed out my skunk2 arms and went straight to the alignment shop.
