Holy camber!
I hope you have an allignment rack in your back yard!
Seriously, how bad is the camber change throughout the travel, any chance you looked into upper j-arms Dino?
By the way, I owe you a long overdue thanks for the sticker!:metal:

Re: something different 66 long travel truck

It might be way more then you want to do , but on some of the desert long travel trucks, they use a j-arm instead of an a-arm. It allows for equal length upper and lower arms, so you dont get alot of camber change throughout the travel.
