Shop for camber kit install in SD?

Anyone know of a good shop or know how to do a camber kit install (front and rear)? I'll throw some cash your way and I'll help as much as I can, but I've never toyed with my suspension so you gotta' know what you're doing.

rears are straight forward.. unbolt 4 bolts on each side and re-install.

try to make the arms the same length as stock and remember where the dial is on the toe arm. you'll know what im talking about when you see it.

after that, install it take it to get an alignment ASAP.


fronts are straight forwards as well assuming its the whole assembly.

I'm planning on getting an alignment immediately after I install it so I'm not to worried if things fall a little out of spec.

Whole assembly, what do you mean?

Does that make the install easier? Since it's only a ball joint?

And also, what tools would I need to install the camber kit myself?

My camber's really out of spec. Like all over the place. It's so bad that every alignment I get barely makes a difference. I wish we could adjust the camber stock.

Long story short, the car was spun out and rebuilt. But the camber's been out of spec ever since. So I need a camber kit just for stock height.

The frame of the car possibly was severely damaged... maybe the car wasn't fixed properly back to factory specs. You may be SOL... not sure if the balljoint would fix the issues...

The best advice I can give you is to go to a collision/auto body shop and have them check to make sure your frame is within specs.

go talk to the person that did the work from the accident

ask them wtf? why is my camber off?

take him the bills for the alignments you've done and tell him that you had to pay for all these alignments and nobody can correct it.
