Default 2012 camber adjustment.

I went two days ago for an alignment. There isn't a factory caster/camber adjustment from what I was told. Im lifted 4" and the caster on each side is off exactly 4.7 on each side. An ideas on fixing this? Adjustable ball joints? Camber bolts? Anyone have any experience they can share. Any input will be greatly appreciated!

Stay away from Cam Bolts.

Get yourself some adjustable Front Upper control arms to fix your castor issue.

Adjustable balljoints are nice for smaller castor issues( from what I've been told).

Caster should be good at 4.7 and is adjusted by adjustable control arms.

Camber is fixed in stock trim, but can be adjusted by adjustable ball joints. I wouldn't worry too much about the camber.

That all depends on the lift. What exact caster setting are you wanting?

I don't know much about it. I really want everything in line and correct. I was told if I keep the tires rotated regularly I should be fine. But I don't know how bad it is by just the numbers

Even if you're not going to do this yourself, it has some good info.

U need lower adjustable control arms to adjust camber/caster. Upper control arms are for pinion angle.

Yes, I get those two sets confused all the time.

Sweet! What I need to figure out is if my 4" rough country lift has adjustable lower control arms.
