Just looking for a little feedback, I installed JDM lower control arms with drop shocks on a 4x4 Silverado 99, and after putting it on the ground the wheels have really noticeable camber negative.
Haven't measured how many negative but looks like plus 3.
Is that normal for drop arms , I crancked the keys to the spot were they were stock.

EDIT. I HAVE ALOT OF POSITIVE CAMBER, tires on top sticking out, on bottom sucked in

I haven't done these yet so my experience is limited, but I have to ask, did you follow the instructions 100%? Pivot bolts not overtightened (docs say tighten to approx 30lb-ft)?

And so we're clear on the terminology, you say bad negative camber, the wheels are tucked in too far at the top?

I saw a post elsewhere recently where someone had way too much positive camber after installing their DJM drop arms. So far it doesn't appear they solved it.

I'm gonna have to go with possible installation error as it seems a lot of these have been installed with no issue.

I to havent installed those but did you get an alignment yet?

The upper control arms have the camber and caster adjustments on them.

If you have the lowers it's suggested to have the uppers.

I did when I ran mine and it aligned to factory specs.

Of course, I HATED how it rode/drove on arms.

Update here, so I measured my hub to fender and it only dropped maybe half an inch, tires are sticking out up top and sucked in on the bottom.
I'm wondering if I could have put the torsion key on the wrong hex, but when installing the key it would only fit in a slightly down pointed angle?? Instructions were follow exactly as stated, I'll be taking it to an allingment shop but now I'm convinced something wrong because there's no noticeable drop just bad camber

Sticking out at the top = positive camber, just to clarify the term being used.

You need to turn the upper upper arm camber adjustment bolts (2 on each upper arm). An alignment shop should be able to handle this for you
