alignment/camber issues
Hey guys, just got back from Pep-Boys (the only place open today) to get an estimate on adjusting my camber. My wheels are slanted inwards towards the fender, as are many of yours, or were.
I thought it would be a simple fix, but noooo. The guy told me I had to get a "camber bolt kit" and that would run me about $50, he also said that the labor charge on such would be $180 PLUS the alignment, which was $70. This was shocking to me, idk, any input from you guys? Is it really that hard to install a camber bolt kit, and is this even what I really need?

If the factory fixed camber is out of spec (common when lifted), you'll need an adjustable camber kit for each side to fix it. It is possible to install the camber kits at home but is a little hard to get the bolts in past the brake lines and other stuff. You will need an alignment immediately after the installation. Sometimes, a shop will refuse to do the alignment if you install the parts yourself - it's wise to check in advance.
