It sucks, but I did it with 2 alignments. I had the truck aligned, then took those specs to order the correct offset. Then had the toe re-adjusted after the ball joint work. I believe that is the only way to correct a camber problem though. You could be taking a chance getting the 0 offset and then having it out of adjustment.

buy the stock off set, you run no lift, if you were running a lift, then thats a different story

I am running a 1.5* left and a 1* right. My tires have always been off regardless of lift. The drivers side you could see the camber by looking at it. They spin to adjust so you can use them to address camber or caster. With the way these trucks are setup I don't think a lift really has an effect on camber. Everything is square now.
