It will not affect your camber. It will affect your caster. And I am sure you would want to have it re-alined

Well 1'st I would check both long arms and see if they are adjusted evenly. If not your going to need to have it all re-aligned. How much curvature does your springs have? Do you have any drive line vibes caused by the pinion angle being off? Track bar adjusted correctly? Short answer, I would have it all re-aligned.

Super Easy! Just adjust the lower control arms evenly. Since its a long arm setup the only caster adjustment it going to be if you adjust the uppers. and the only Toe adjustment is if you adjust your Tie Rod.

With the recommended specs with my LA kit and running 35s I was rubbing to much on the inner fender. So me and my friend with the same setup both extended our lowers prolly about an inch or so.

And dont be so testy with the replies on getting some answers. You posted 20 minutes after bumping the thread.

I didnt think I would have to do this but http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+adjust+long+arms (Try first link)


And when you drop the arm use your foot to kick the tire out so you can get it back in the bolt hole after adjusting. Then continue and do the next one. ... You did install this yourself right? Or shop?

I installed them myself i didnt realize i measured wrong so i can just basically leave all wheels on the ground chock the rear wheels and unbolt the arms and thread them out?

Yes, if all you want to do if push the front axle forward a bit just unscrew the long arms ONE AT A TIME, and you will be just fine. Make sure they are the same length tho. (wont kill you but suggest)
