Quick camber kit question......

I recently removed my stock rims to put in the my other set. I noticed that the inner edge of the front tires were almost completely balled (spelling). The rear tires seemed fine (although I'm sure the inner edge did get worn a bit).

I'm dropped about 1.5" all around. I know I need a camber kit for the front but would I be able to do without a rear camber kit for a while longer? Anyone who's gone through this please respond.....TIA!

"Bald".

My rear is dropped 1.5" and it's fine. My fronts, however, had bad camber wear before the camber kits were installed. You'd be able to go for a while longer, but who knows what your camber issues are. You can go to a shop to have them check the specs to see if it's in need of kits or not. Usually they do it for cheap, if not free.

Did you get rubber or polyurethane bushings with the kit? I'm looking at the urethane but if they're not properly lubricated they wear quickly. Anyone have any problem with this happening?

I just went to a shop and got my camber checked.

Front Left: -0.6ยบ Toe: -0.13ยบ
Front Right : -1.2ยบ Toe: -0.16ยบ

Rear Left: -2.0ยบ Toe: +0.02ยบ
Rear Right: -1.9ยบ Toe: +0.11ยบ

Based on this I'm not sure what kit I should get. I want the Ingalls cuz it's the cheapest I've found but their range of adjustability is too limited. Is there any kit out there that will work for what I need? Please let me know if there's anything I'm missing or something else I should look at before making a final decision. I just bought new tires and I don't want to wear them out too fast like I did the old ones.
