I had no shims on the front driver side stud, and I had one 1/16" shim on the other three studs to achieve the alignment shown below.
Now that I've got the thinner spacers installed, I've got an additional 3/16" worth of shims on every stud to work with. I'm hoping to achieve 6-8° caster and 0.5-1° negative camber on the next go-around, based on recommendations from this thread:

By the way, I've got 2-1/2" Western Chassis drop spindles and 1" drop springs. My control arms are stock. |
Thanks for the update..I was thinking of going to PB lower arms but if I can eek out 5-6 degrees of caster and a little bit of negative camber using the thinner spacers and stock arms that would work for me.
