I know we gotta have some bagged trucks on here, so post them up. I want pics of everything , link/bag Setups, Tank locations, Underhood and Bed pics. All the good stuff. The more info the better. Hopefully in the next week or so I'll be able to post my CC.

Have always loved this truck, even though im not a stepside fan. Just enough camber to make it look good, but not make it look like its suspension just collapsed.

WOW!!?! If you like camber that's fine but it has to be in moderation. anything more than -5* shows me that the builder did not alter anything except maybe drop spindles on the front of the vehicle and purely cared about just laying the vehicle out. not to mention doesn't want to ride low for any substantial amount of time because they wil kill the inside of your tires.

eliminating camber isn't something you do purely for the looks unless you're just building the truck for looking at. Reducing camber is done to allow for better, more even tire wear along with more available ride heights.

I love the fact that I can drive anywhere from .5"-6" of ground clearance and not have 2* of camber change throughout. If you don't care then that's all fine and dandy but I would never recommend or let anybody go about building a truck that will be driven and think that camber is something to just overlook because they think it "looks cool".

here's a truck width ~2-3 degrees(this is ideal)

here's around 4-5* (the most you want)

now judge based on that how much he has and what you think is "enough to make it look like the suspension hasn't collapsed."
 
acceptable camber can be obtained with belltech 2505 spindles, flipped uppers, and a 30.5in tire right? the first time around i wasnt laying out, now i plan to once i mod the xmember and cut out tubs
 
That picture that you quoted didnt even show up on my phone. The side shots don't make it look that bad. Still a nice truck though. I dont like the amount of camber it has now seeing that shot you quoted, but in my eyes, 2* is amazing, but 3-4 doesnt look bad either.

Yeah the camber will be alright but you usually get more positive camber with the 2505 spindle than other spindles throughout the travel if the suspension.

I wish you lived close to me. I have had an idea I wanted to try with the 2505 spindle.
 
Tukn4s- One of the things I like most about your truck is even when laid out, the camber is very minimal. I think that looks best, to much camber looks outrageous to me.
