    Camber Kit? Alignment? & Shims?

    I will be installing a Western Chassis kit that is currently on order, I went with the A-arms and 1" drop coil up front and the 5" flip kit w/ C-notch out back. (this is on a non-harley supercrew) A couple of questions, where can I pick up the front camber kit and the rear shims? What degree do the shims need to be for a 5" rear drop? (I have always heard 1 degree for every inch of drop) Also are there any special allignment specs I should have so that I get both good tire wear and good handling?

    Thanks for the help guys. Can't wait to bring my baby down to earth.

    Procharged and Liv'n Large!

    well, if the whole truck is going down (sounds like your doing a 3/5) you may be able to get away w/o using shims.


    Shims are cheap, about 10 bux from any online accessories retailer. No difference in quality, if you saw some, you would prolly just have a machine shop make you some.
