#11016, "Do you have to take whole suspension off before installin camber kits?"
Reason being...is because I get my springs friday and Im going to do the installation that day...and I probably wont have a camber kit by then...saving up for ingalls front and rear camber kit...and my friends are saying i should go ahead and just wait till I get camber kit and install everything once I get the camber kit...so I wont have to take the suspension back out. So can I got ahead and install springs/struts then wait till I get my camber kit and install them later with out much trouble? or should I wait? OR wait a week till springs settle then when I get an alignment tell the people to install camber kit and adjust it too?

You dont need to take the springs/struts out to do the camber kits on either the front or rear. The ingalls front kit is very simple to install, all you have to take off is the 2 retaining nuts on the top front of the strut tower under the hood, then the whole upper control arm assembly can swing outward and you can install the new kit. I didnt even take off my front tires to do it, as it helps to have the tire on to rest the upper control arm assembly on it. The rears are the same, dont have to take off the tire, but it helps, and you only have to put in the spacers behind the mounting plate for the control arms in the rear. Very easy to do Imo. Get the camber kits installed, then get an alignment, but do the alignment after full spring settle, which usually only takes several days for most springs. Of course, each wheel has to be jacked up to do the camber kits also, but only at the wheel you are working on..
