I used Belltech keys and my front caster/camber adjustments are maxed out. DJM makes new adjustment plates if need be. Black04 is a really low 4x4 (I think that's his screen name), he has pics of his CV angles floating around here...I know as I asked him to post them

I'm 2WD but on a torsion bar suspension. I've got spindles & keys(decranked all the way) & it's supposed to be a 5" drop. My truck (07 classic) came with 20's from the factory so I was donkin off the dealer lot. I really think I dropped more than 5" because I tuck just a little bit & I've got some negative camber but it looks badass, IMO.

Just sayin...

I am Guessing Black04 is my buddy Oleg? This is his truck. I just asked him about his lowering components this week since We just picked up a 4x4 RCSB with a 2/3 on it so far...
