Default Alignment / Camber issue?

Hi. thanks for reading this.

2008 Suburban 4x4.
A used 6" FabTech lift kit was just installed.

The entire kit was removed from a 2008 Yukon XL.

The alignment shop said that the upper control arms were not long enough? They said they could not align the camber at all on one side due to a seized camber bolt (stuck in the bushing), and the other side was maxed out but still out of speck.

So the alignment went fine but the tops of the tires lean outward.

The upper control arms are aftermarket Moog brand, which came off the Yukon, which I assume were correct for the rig.

I have stock upper control arms available to install, if that would help.


Should I .... Loosen the upper and lower control arm bolts and use a pry bar to force them in the direction I want and then tighten them down? Replace uppers? Go to a different alignment shop?
