help i need help how do u adjust the alignment on this 91

I would take it to a tire or alignment shop who has the proper equipment to do it right. Its just about impossible to do it in your driveway.

but this thing is rigged to the hilt i just want to adjust the camber

This model has upper A arms right??? Then you would use shims in the upper A arm. Either by adding or taking away. I believe you will also be changing the Caster adjustment when you do that. Rigged or not, they should be able to do it. Just tell them what you did to it. They will decide to align it as a 3/4 ton or 1/2 ton by what all you changed. I'd think specs should be close to the same, all you probbaly really changed was height and now it has to be compensated for.
