Got 1994 K1500. I installed Fabtech 6 in lift and put 35's on it. I have 5.7L and 4L60E transm. Looking for the suggested gear ratio to bring drive train back to around stock. Also came across a problem with camber in front end. I cut out mount for upper control arm to allow max camber but there is still to much camber on both wheels. Does anyone have solutions or idea to fix this. Fabtech solution was turn torsion bars all the way up. Didn't help. Does chevy have shorter upper control arms that will work on my truck to bring top of tire in?

you might look at a newer chevy (03-06) i believe they are smaller but i wouldn't swear they'll work.
by smaller, i mean more compact. they are "supposed" to be stronger, lighter pieces.
i have 35's on my '06 on stock steel wheels and it is alligned durn near perfect.
as far as gears: i would guess you have 3.73's now? i would say 4.10's or 4.56's would get you back equal to stock but with that tranny's OD you will want 4.56's or 4.88's at least.
i stepped up to 4.10's in mine and wish like hell i would've gone deeper!

4.10 is too tall for 35's it you play to be able to use OD reliably. 4.56 would be minimum here and 4.88 better still. Do not let numbers scare you as even a 4.88 is pretty tame with 35's and a .7 OD ratio.
