Negative camber

I have 91 suburban 2wd 350. I installed 2 1/2" drop spindles and 2" lowering shackles. Now I have my front wheels going in on top. Any help with this???

HMMM, that's weird because I thought the spindle was just moved up on the knuckle therefore not actually changing the alignment angles and still having the same spring and shock travel.

Re: Negative camber

did you get it aligned after changing the front end? Anytime you change the front suspension you should have it aligned. Once you get it aligned then you won't have the negative camber.

As an example when I swapped the i-beams on my ranger for dropped ones it did the same thing.. General rule of thumb, when you change the suspension always get it aligned.
