Negative Camber Help Please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I put a ECE static 4/6 drop on my 1971 C10 and replaced the upper control arms with DJM. My problem is I now can only adjust my camber to about -1.9 on each side.

I need a longer mounting bolt for the upper control arms. Any one know the specs on the stock bolt, I'm thinking like a 9/16 ?? course thread. The length is what I need so I can try to find new ones an inch longer than stock.

What I did with mine is use the bolts out of a 81 (the donor for the suspension) they were a good bit longer then the original ones. They are made like a wheel stud with a knurle at the end.

Thanks PGSigns. I'll look into that. Trying to talk to Specialty Products, but they're difficult to get on the phone.
