Default How do you de-camber the back suspension on a Sierra?

As the title says really.

Has anyone found a decent way of dialling out the excess camber that you get when you lower the rear of a Sierra?

Shit traction and shit tyre wear must be curable?

Cheers,

DC

The shims that Mike R does are wafer thin pieces of metal and I have 2 sets for sale, never fitted. They fit behind the hub and offset the rear wheel angles a touch.
