Default What do I need to adjust camber on 98 ram 1500?

my tires are leaning quite a bit.

4 new ball joints
new tie rods / stabilizer bar links / stabilizer.

In the process of changing all this out, I was told that I'm missing the Cam / cam bolt on my lower control arms. It looks like the factory bolt was removed, and there is now a grade 8 bolt / washer put in place.

There is a 4" lift on the truck, and I still need an alignment. Will I be ok with just the grade 8 bolts in there, or will I need the CAM's? and if so... does anyone by chance have a part number so I can buy the cams / bolts? and do those cams / bolts adjust the camber?

Not to bad on price either. You should get these before you do alignment since it's one of the things they adjust.
