Default Not enough caster/camber adjustment

Went into work today to throw the jimmy on the new alignment machine and see how close it was as i did an alignment on it about a month ago with our old 80's style corded heads machine , I noticed the caster being at 1.8 degrees on both sides and it wanted 3.0 . Half a degree of negative camber both sides. . i tryed adjusteing the caster to get it a little higher, but cant get anymore adjustment out of the factory cam washers on the bolts. So my question is, has anyone found a caster/camber kit that gives a bit more adjustment? also my torsion bolts are run in pretty far, and im wondering becuase of the control arm angle, i dont think i will be able to get it into spec. I am wondering if the rough cuontry upper arms would help with this issue ..
