I bought the CPP tubular uppers and lowers with the disc brake conversion with stock height spindles. After the install the wheels had an excessive amount of positive camber. I was able to get it close enough to drive to the alignment shop and they told me the control arms were too long and the spindles "looked wrong" They removed all the shims and there was still positive camber. I called up CPP and they mentioned at the stock height springs and spindles would cause positive camber and perhaps lowering springs and that low profile concave shims could help with the adjustment. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this complication before.

I'm planning on driving my c10 from San Diego to Wisconsin mid July to my uncles cabin. I just replaced the radiator, new upper and lower control arms with disc brake conversion, new shock all around. I'm planning on replacing bushings as well. But I'm wondering what else I should be looking into to make the trip more comfortable and smooth. I have a stock 283 with a 4 on the floor transmission with the first gear being pretty much useless unless I'm ripping tree stumps out of the ground. The top highway speed is like 65 at 2700 rpm.
I'm thinking maybe a better transmission with gear ratios. But anyway and advice would be helpful.
