Hey, I was referring to the bolts that go through the upper control arm shaft. It's where the shims are for alignment/camber. Most often with much more than a coil those bolts aren't long enough to get the camber back straight. I have heard of folks installing longer bolts. I have 3" spindles with one coil cut and I have plenty of adjustment. Before with 2 coils cut and no drop spindles, I didn't have enough adjustment.
