Just finished upgrade to discs and...

[kcjones]

I just completed an upgrade to discs, lowered 4.5/6, and a few other things (i'll post pics in projects later), but I came up with a few questions that I'm hoping someone can help answer:

1) The alignment shop claimed they couldn't align my truck because it was lowered and had aftermarket components (drop spindles, tubular a-arms, etc). I got them to adjust the toe, but I'm worried about the camber. The arms I have are a bit longer than stock to correct the infamous negative camber issue with dropped front ends, and the alignment machine showed each side at like 6.5 degrees positive camber. I left the factory alignment shims in when I installed the a-arms. The question is, what should my camber be set to? The factory manual shows a chart that changes the correct setting based on ride height, but I'm sure it doesn't allow for drop springs. It shows I should be at like -5 degrees. What's best for correct tire wear? And can I measure it with a simple angle finder so I can fix this at home?

2) After my upgrade to power discs (had manual drums all around before), my brake pedal doesn't "release" anymore. When I depress the pedal, it stays down and I have to bring it back up manually with my foot each time. Any ideas?

Thanks guys!
