I got a bud that has a type 3 rear end with a wolf kit. He has a ton of positive camber. What do you need to do to bring it back to 0 or neg? rides killer mike, thanks

LOWER IT MORE!!!! seriously though, if you think you are going to use a straight axle kit and lower the rear just 3.5 inches to match the front lowered spindles you are not going to be a happy camper(no pun intended) with just a 3.5 inch drop in the back with a straight axle kit you will have positive camber like a swing bug with the motor out(looks dumb and is not safe at all in the corners) my bus is lowered 6 or 7 inches and my wheels are dead straight to give you an idea how much you need to go down to get 0 degrees of camber.

You must be one light guy and some small Tires to keep it from Rubbing. You're the one with the Narrowed Beam?

66- I've got a T4, converted to upright, that's going in a Split with Creative Engineering IRS. The rear Hanger is to support weight I believe.
