K1500 adjustable upper control arms

Anubis · Jun 22, 2020

I installed the Rough Country 2-3" lift kit on my 1990 K1500 and can't get the camber adjusted properly (too much positive camber). The kit was installed correctly and I contacted Rough Country but they won't help.

I'm thinking that adjustable upper control arms could solve my issue. Can anyone recommend a source? Do they even exist for a K1500? I came empty when searching.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Are your knockouts knocked out and have the adjustable cam bolts in them?

Yes, knockouts are out and control arms are mounted as far inward as possible. Have you installed this kit sucessfully? Seems like many others have the same issue

The 2-3" kit sucks donkey dick. That said, you can order offset bushings that should allow you to pull the upper arms in further.

Upper and lower control arm bushings fresh 'n' new? Even good "looking" bushings can be totally rotted inside. If the lower bushings are wiped, they generally go bad in the direction that causes positive camber.

Frame bent?

Remove silly "lift kit", return to the proper ride height?
