Camber issue

LOENF4U · Apr 21, 2026

My 76 c10 front suspension consists of drop spindles, 3” lowered coils, tubular lower A arms, from Performance Online. The camber issue started when I replaced 2” coils with 3”, and it sits too good to change coils back to 2”, what are options ? Adding the upper tubular A arms from P.O.L. or is there a less expensive route ?

Do they still make drop shafts for the shim pack?

Yes, knowing what your issue actually is would be helpful. I had POL upper and lower tubular arms with stock height. The upper arms add a bunch of positive camber, and with zero spacers I still had too much. I had to go back to stock upper arms. So assuming you have too much negative, the POL arms should correct that. I still have them, PM me if interested.

Yeah, he's talking about too much negative camber. I had 2.5" spindles and stock springs trimmed to probably 3" or so of drop. Never could get it better than roughly 2* of negative camber. I just ran it, still got 20-25k miles out of 2 different sets of front tires.

In the 80s, we’d cut a square out around the lower ball joint, cut 5/8” out behind the ball joint, then weld the ball joint piece of the control arm back in.

Saw one of the trucks about 3 years ago, that I did in the 80s, still running around with the 4” drop springs and modified lower control arms.

You also have to cut the bump stop mounts off the lower arms, and put 3” spacers under the upper arms to keep the springs in the pocket.
