Camber Adjustment after System 7

So I was at the shop today getting my new 265/75 tires put on after my lift, and was discussing the alignment with the tech. He took a look and claims I'm going to need some sort of camber kit to get the camber dialed in after the Sonor system 7 went in. I think he's nuts, as I didn't read bout anyone doing that here, and Steve at Sonoran would have said something about it. Who's nuts me or him?

No you won't need a "camber kit" (whatever that is). Go to another shop for your alignment.

I see online how I can make the camber measurement and maybe at least improve it somewhat before I get it to the shop- it's way out - what are the tricks to adjusting the cam bolts?

Yeah - wish there was a good 4x4 shop near Cape Cod.

It lined up fine! I have a noise in the front end on Drivers side over rough surface - I think the spring is hitting the frame - gonna investigate when it warms up. Spring may not be on the shock straight, or I bent something putting it in. Sure looks sharp with the new Dueler Revos and the lift, though. The Wet Okole covers arrived today. Nice.
