I used a Eibach Pro kit to lower my 2000 GMC jimmy 2WD. its the V6 model. I cant find anything to fix the Camber angles on the truck! Does anyone know of what I should do to fix the camber angle where I can buy Adjustment parts to fit an aftermarket drop of that caliber?

Also! the truck is driving like crap! what other upgrades can I do for better steering and handling so it handles tighter, better, and smoother of a ride? I have after market shocks! but I am willing to get better I have DJM ones now is there better riding shocks?

Let me know asap!!!!

 

try upgrading ur sway bar and or ur sway bar bushings and as for the camber angle did u only use the springs if u only used springs to drop the front i would suggest adding control arms instead of factory the control arms springs and spindles are ment for a factory camber at a lowered level so your camber should come to were it needs to be. also when u dropped it did u adjust ur steering ends on the spindle when u drop a vehicle u also have to adjust ur steering ends on the spindle. if u don't that affects alot of that camber and other angles.

 

First things first... Have you had an alignment done? It is true that the steering will be off, but the position of the steering linkage won't affect the camber angles, only the alignment of the wheels (ie. pointing in or out instead of straight up and down. You really need to have the alignment done and see what the alignment shop says.

 

like he said you need an alignment. also im not a big fan of eibach springs, too stiff of a ride. also they will probably tell you that they are going to need to shim your upper control arm. this is all part of lowering.

 

What kind of springs or control arm whould you recomend then? I did have an alignment done a while ago but it wasnt any alignment specialist. it was just a Townfair Tire Special. I feel it did Jack when I got it done! I made some phone calls and they said I might have lowered it past Factory settings can adjust too. I was thinking control arms but will it lower me even more?? or just set me straight?

 

You SHOULDN'T neednew control arms, you adjust the camber on these trucks (2wd) by adding or taking out shims from the upper control arm mounts. And like Kyle said, you need to have the toe adjusted too...both are part of a PROPER front end alignment.
