The problem you'll have with a lifted vehicle is finding room to fit the spring in agains the strut tower.

there is a type of camber adjustment on some cars at the bottom steering knuckle end....but thats not likely applicable to L series....

L series do not lend themselves to strut top adjustment plates due to the small clearance between the tower and the spring. KMAC's kit gets around this by slotting out the engine crossmember holes where the bottom arm attaches on each side. A excentric (spp?) bolt arangement allows adjustment inboard and outboard thereby changing the camber.
