Do Wheel Spacers Counteract Positive Camber Effect of Lifts?
Just like the title asks. I'm wondering: if I were to do the FJ suspension swap on my 4th gen 4runner, would the slightly positive camber that would result be counteracted if I were to install spidertraxx wheel spacers?

I can visualize why it would be so, but I'm wondering if anyone with more experience (and some engineering knowledge) can tell me definitively.

If I need to be more clear about what I'm asking and what's running through my head, just let me know.

From visualizing it in my head I'm thinking yes it would. However, I think both the lift and wheel spacers have a very small effect on the camber angle and I probably would get it aligned and not worry about it.

Yeah, I'd get an alignment after doing either, regardless.

I'm just thinking that adding wheel spacers may be helpful if it turned out that the degree of positive camber resulting from a given lift couldn't be adjusted back into spec. I'm not sure what kind of camber adjustments are possible on the 4th gen 4runners (or any 4runner for that matter).

Does anyone have experience with this potential effect? If so, how pronounced is it?
