just get a bunch of thin washers, and use a level to measure the camber, it'll take a couple of tries. Make sure you are on flat ground. ITs also a good idea to get a longer bolt because the washers will leave less thread for the stocker to hang on to.

Also, the best way to level the fronts using a camber kit.

Thanks

the front camber you shouldn't do it on your own.
no matter how you set it up you should go see a specialist to get the camber adjusted.

your are asking a stupid question, stupid questions get stupid answers.

it is pretty self-explainatory what you have to do. look at where you put the washers, get a few that look about the right size. washers are a dime a dozen. I dont see where you could go wrong. it is not going to take very many washers because neg camber in the rear is never all that bad.

and its not much of a trick, more like common-sense.
