I got my bolts from PRG, they don't have arrows. I tried to make sense of the alignment thread sticky( it's tough with many of the pics gone).

I believe I put them in exactly opposite of where they were supposed to be.

I have no idea why the pictures are turned on there side. However the first pic if the front bolt, with the long side of the lobe facing out, away from the oil pan.

The second pic is the rear, with the long side of the lobe facing in towards the oil pan.

In the light of day it looks like I have some serious positive camber!

Thanks for taking a look!

An alignment is a necessity after installing these, you can't just eyeball it.

I just installed these as well along with new lower arms. Definitely recommend getting alignment after install...you can eyeball it so that you could drive it there.

It's getting aligned for sure, but it might be a couple days. I guess my problem is my eyeball is telling me its bad. I'd rather get it closer if I could.

x3 on the "get it close enough to drive it in for an alignment" approach.

There are just too many variables that you really can't properly align things based on just the bolt. Setting one bolt at a certain degree in no way means that the second one should be turned to the exact same degree. Small variances in tire, frame, wheel, etc can change what needs to be where. That's why two exact trucks could have two very different bolt settings. It is possible to do a rough alignment at home using some string and various tactics, but do yourself the favor and take it into a shop. Most of them can even print off a "this is where it was, this is where we adjusted it to" kind of thing for you...

The thing to remember is that the bolt sits in a sideways slot. The lobes are there just to push the bolt around.

And you absolutely need to set your cam bolts yourself. Most alignment shops will only adjust the toe.

Most alignment shops will only adjust the toe.

I would find another alignment shop if they will only adjust the toe.
I spent a lot of time at my friend's shop and he advises the customers that he needs to purchase cams bolts to do the alignment.
