Helper Bags and camber

I have just lowered my 21 Lariat using Belltech 3/5 kit I then added 22 " rims and 275/50/22 tires, They were able to take nearly all the camber out but there is a still a little in there, is there a kit or a way to get rid of the camber completely?

Also I went with a set of IHC helper bags which even with only 15 to 20lbs in the bags raise the rear end a little over an inch which kind of defeats the purpose of a 5" drop at the rear. Then the bags sit a a weird angle. the are butted up to the welds as per instructions. Anyone else used these bags?

This should give the alignment techs more latitude to dial in camber on the lower control arm:

04-23 F150 & Raptor SPC HD Camber & Caster Kit 86252

If still issues, an adjustable upper control arm might be needed, but way more $:

SPC Performance 21+ FORD F-150 Front Adj Upper Racing Control Arm Kit - 25685

Lifted trucks lose caster which wears tires and leads to wandering at high speeds. These arms improve droop travel, drivability and tire wear as well as adjusting tire position in your wheel well with SPC's adjustable front upper control arms. Featuring an upgraded greasable ball joint and...

I dont have much to offer on the bags, other than would only 5 psi work better for unloaded driving?
I believe thats all that is required for unloaded.

I was also thinking that adjustable uca's might do the trick.

Came to suggest the SPC’s but not sure if they are headed in the right direction. They are meant for lifted applications.

The other option might be a set of billet Icon UCA’s. The heim joints on those are threaded to allow adjustments.

Your title is very confusing. Get a set of bags that sits over the axle. Not sure I even wrap my head around slamming a truck then adding airbags for load support.

I get it , lowered trucks are not for everyone. I didn't buy it to haul weight or tow, but in the event that I ever need to the helper bags help that.

IHC sell adjustable upper control arms that are designed for lowered trucks so think I have found my solution to the camber

Was about to suggest SPC UCA's but reading the post and looking at photos I thought you had concerns about the rear end, which didn't make sense to me.

SPC's do have a good amount of adjustment and are quality parts at a reasonable cost.

They use an offset ball-joint that is adjustable in rotation and that is in a slotted mounting on the UCA . Allowing a good range of castor and camber adjustment in the UCA on top of the factory LCA adjustment. KM
