Thanks for your great instructions. I’m sure they will help others, but I had the shop install the lowering kit the day before you posted. 🤣

Did you end up having to use camber bolts to get it aligned to spec?

well, just got it aligned at FIRESTONE (lifetime alignment $220 total- tech had $20 off coupon) here are the specs-funny that NO camber adjustments were needed but TOE and CASTER did.SO... do you really need the CMBER BOLTS???

By the looks of it. The camber is right at the edge of being out of spec. I would get camber bolts for the next alignment. Nothing urgent though. Looks good

Here’s something interesting. I am running the camber bolts and could not get caster back in spec. I am .1 degree out of spec on each side.

as far as whether to run them or not: seems like not!

The Eibach engineer who lowered his own Maverick said the camber bolts were unnecessary when I asked.

I purchased a set too when I bought my springs, but I didn't install them at the time. I forgot to bring them with me when I installed the springs :rolleyes:, so I've just held onto them until I either get my frontend aligned or get new wheels and tires.

i wouldn't be concerned with the camber so long as your toe is not excessive. I do not plan on using camber bolts..
