If I were to do it over I would just have done 5in Control Arms from DJM with stock coils and spindles.

I have some body in Pasadena that does my alignments and can fix the camber and why does it ride like **** do you still have your bump stops or are they off.

The camber cannot be fixed. There is no more room to adjust it.....it is maxed out. And it rides like **** because the front suspension in 2in shackles and 2in coils w/half a coil cut......anytime you cut springs it makes the vehicle ride bad.
