xrf makes off-set upper ball joints to correct this.

more than a few people have gotten lowers that caused binding or poor steering...

unless something is bent your camber should be fine as it is not adjustable on our trucks. so unless something is way off i wouldn't use the adjustable uppers, heard of it leading to more problems....

Like he said above, you shouldn't need offset BJ's unless the diff is bent. There is NO camber adjustment from the factory.
Did the guy at the tire shop even check out the alignment or was did he just throw that comment out there?

XRF's and the Dyna Tracs are new on the market, hopefully they hold up...
