lets calm down it,s not so radical but as you all know the rear swings up and out when lowering just wondered how people have solved that,seen sierras on here that are lower than this one and with the right wheel alignement,stock height sierras look like turd in my opinion and need a lowering with sense of course
what adjustable beam?? any pics of that??

chims where to find thoose

Depends where, as in which holes you use, if you use the rear two then it will tip the hub so taking toe away, if using the top two holes in the hub it will decrease camber.
Camber does not scrub tyres, I ran 3 1/2 degrees camber, but correct toe on my last but one sierra for around 3 years with 100% even tyre wear.
Instead of R&B shims the same can be achieved by using washers/thin strips.
