    Mechanic Told Me Camber Isn’t Adjustable???

    I don’t think so. They got the alignment perfect yesterday and the DT settings were in their equipment. For some reason the barcode is being read on my truck as a DS model with air suspension though. Sounds more like a glitch in Snap On’s decoding software or a bad barcode.

    Mechanic Told Me Camber Isn’t Adjustable???

    Back at the shop today and the crew is really helpful. Apparently when they scan the barcode in the door jamb it’s coming up as a DS and air suspension 🤔. I don’t have air suspension. I now understand why they set it to those specs and maybe why Snap On sent specs for a truck with air...

    Mechanic Told Me Camber Isn’t Adjustable???

    One last piece of info to share. I noticed that Rough Country has alignment specs noted in their installation guide for their 2” spacer leveling kits. I reached out to their customer service and asked if these should be used for their leveling struts as well. Their response was to set the...

    Mechanic Told Me Camber Isn’t Adjustable???

    I might agree at this point. It changed owners a few years ago and this is the 2nd issue Ive had. I really only use them for inspections and alignments since I do most maintenance on my own but it could be time to move on... after they fix what I’ve already paid for [emoji846]. Update: The shop...

    Mechanic Told Me Camber Isn’t Adjustable???

    I heard back from the vendor and it turns out the specs are pretty different between the DT and DS model. I sent a follow up to confirm that air suspension normal is the same as having no air suspension. With this new info it looks like my caster is way out of whack. I’ll be bringing these specs...

    Mechanic Told Me Camber Isn’t Adjustable???

    Interesting. I sent a message to the mfg JohnBean to see if their specs for that year are the same. Hopefully I hear back before Friday…

    Mechanic Told Me Camber Isn’t Adjustable???

    I was originally considering it could have been limitations in my truck but after I called back it was clear he hadn’t thought through his response. The wear on my tires is one of my biggest concerns. I did the chalk test after the alignment and it looked like the chalk was heavier on the left...

    Mechanic Told Me Camber Isn’t Adjustable???

    He wasn’t overtly saying there was a physical constraint. I sent the above pics to my mechanic friend a little bit ago and he confirmed there is still adjustment left. I called the shop back and told him that the camber is adjustable and he said he guess he didn’t know off the tip of his head…...

    Mechanic Told Me Camber Isn’t Adjustable???

    Hi Folks! I recently installed Rough Country 2” Leveling Struts and 295/60 Wildpeaks on my factory 20” wheels. I had an alignment done yesterday and was concerned that my camber was out of spec on both sides. I called today and my mechanic told me that Camber can’t be adjusted on these trucks...
