Longer upper should bring camber back.... seems like I remember seeing shorter ones for a lifted truck though? someone should have a long upper?

Read this about the adjusters... hmmm

Description:
Aligning a lowered truck has always been the biggest pain in the rear! Bowed, shredded tires that need to be replaced every six months is the result! Well, no more.
DJM's exclusive alignment kits will have your truck sitting level, low, and straight. They feature specially designed bolts and hardware that allow adjustability in your ride's alignment. This kit is needed on trucks that do not already have factory installed alignment adjustments. Your truck may already have this kit factory installed, check your control arm before ordering.

either shorter lowers or longer uppers will fix neg camber. But longer uppers will also give you a wider stance. I'm going to shorten my lowers and raise my upper control arm mounting points. that will reduce camber and make the upper and lower ca more parallel to reduce camber through out suspension travel.

Not knocking your fab work as its definately good and new ideas are always welcome, but as 1lowdiesel pointed out the torsion bars cannot be loaded much at all.

Basically it has the same effect as drop keys.... and your def right.... but I don't have much choice with 16" wheels though from what I have read about spindles :(

Now wondering about shorter shocks??..

I know that they are $330 but I think this would be your best bet!! and you can still use your wheels!!

Your going to end up eating those tires up on the insides especially with the weight of our trucks!!!

LowDiesel just wanted to show you these:

I'm sure you could fab your stock uppers and make them work just fine but this is what I'm doing and thought I would share.
