Default Alignment Kits

I'm looking at alignment kits for my 93 teg, looking at different kits for the rear, i have the shims in now but what do you guys reccomend for an adjustable kit?? I've been looking at ST Suspensions because I will be getting their swaybars.

I should be lowered over 2.5" this year.

well first off do you mean a camber kit? and if you want it so that you don't wear tires then there's no point in it, just take your car for an alignment and make sure your toe is in spec.

Camber, toe, underinflation, overinflation all wear tires unevenly.

Do some reading, figure out what's causing your wear, then FIX IT! Or just buy new tires every 6 months.

^i have, it's my incorrect toe. before i broke the balljoint (pre 4x114.3) i got an alignment and did not wear tires. camber kits help give proper contact of the tire to the ground, instead of running on the inside of the tire.

Yup. I agree with Fuzzy. Incorrect TOE wears tires.
And he nailed it right on, camber kits are just for correct tire contact with the road.
Incorrect camber and incorrect caster cause the vehicle to pull either left or right.
Caster pulls to the most negative side.
and Camber pulls to the most positive side.
