Default Need help please with leveling kit/wheel alignment..

Today I installed a simple 2 in. spacer to level my 05 Ram 1500. Took it to get aligned and they said my camber was already maxed out so they couldnt bring the camber into specs..wtf. Only put a basic 2 in spacer in.. Anyone have this problem?? Dunno if they make some kit or whatever. Crappy design on the adjustment, could probably just grind the slot a little longer, seems to be enough material there. Any help is great, I have just put brand new mich. tires on my truck not too long ago so I really dont want to screw`em up. Thanks

Also, hitting a bump on the highway makes the front end bouncy now. I feel like cheech and chong with hydraulics in my front end... Wondering if I should just rip the spacers out and level it with spindels...

Spacers? Spindles? On an 05? Are you a 2wd?

I cranked my T bars and took it in for an alignment and mine was already maxed out too. the guy had a bitch of a time to get it aligned. it took him 1.5 hours. and its still not on spec. so I'm gonna go down to a smaller tire and then uncrank the T bars and take it back in.

I would take out the spacers and go with spindles. then your geometry wont be off at all.
