with the springs it wont camber THAT much. you'll deff notice it once you've lowered it and you see the new stance. but you can just go get an allignment and that should correct the camber. ive just been soo broke lately, i can afford one right now.

Default Help!!!!!

i recently put a 2/5 drop on my 2008 dodge ram 1500. flip kit, shakles, stiffer shocks on the rear end, and coil springs up front.(kit from Belltech). It was sitting completly level when i left Georgia, and when i arrived in texas, the rear end was 1 inch lower then when i left(a little more on the passenger side). shocks are not busted, everything is tight and seated in the right position. however i just had the axle replaced because it was bent in small wreck. does anyone have any ideas of why it would have dropped in the rear like that???? sort of looks like drivers side front is rasied a little and passenger rear is sagging.

Some settling is normal was your kit put on professioally or yourself? and was it before the axle got replaced or after? and are you sure your measuring on something completely level?
