Alignment ?

Wondering if the spacers behind the control arms are correct. They came with truck but it seems like tire is "cambered out" too much. Thoughts?

Re: Alignment ?

Build the truck, get all the weight on it and then get the alignment done. You can't do it just mocking the frame up. As you add weight, the suspension will compress and change your alignment. You're wasting your time doing it before it really is ready and yes, there are spacers used.
