there's a washer trick for the rear, not sure how it works
for the front you have to get a camber kit

but really, the camber you experience from a 2 inch drop isn't really enough to cause your tires to wear incorrectly. i'd say just not worry about it.

do you have a picture of the camber you're talking about?

no i dont even know where my camber sits now cause i havent thrown the car on the alginment rack, so i just assume something like 1.5-2.0 degrees + or - and call it a day, but maybe there is a better way or suggestion?

Truthfully from a 2 inch drop i would just go get an alignment and call it a day. A 2 inch drop shouldn't require a camber kit.

Skunk2 makes camber kits.

yeah its been like 5 months since i talked to skunk about their control arms but last time i talked to them they were on INTERNATIONAL back order!! So i was looking into other brands including ebay knock offs and was really interested in SPC alingment products offset ball joints but somebody told me that those were junk. Does SPC make the control arm version. I guess before i get excited i just need to throw it on the rack and go from there.

yea idk
find out where you're at with the camber before you decide to buy anything
it may not be necessary to even adjust it because it's probably not bad enough to cause a problem.
