How do i change camber in my 97 4x4 2500? i am destroying the out sides of the tires? looks to me like i have to much positive camber? is this something i can adjust? or do i have to do it by buying special degree ball joints? its cold and wet up here in nh, so i havent looked @it to c what i need to do

It is probably more of a toe issue. The only way camber can change on these trucks is to bend the axle(been there done that) but that usually results in a negative camber gain not positive.

i will have to figure something out, its pretty bad, gonna check the toe when it warms up, and i will see what i am dealing with. i still think you can change camber with degreed ball joints? nothing is easy.
