easiest way to adjust the cam bolts

Bringing a very old thread back to life but is this true that you have to unload the suspension to adjust the cams?

Im getting ready to do my own alignment but if you have to jack the car up every time you make an adjustment it seems like it going to be a lot harder than I thought..

You don’t have to but! You will surely create issues if you do not. When fully loaded you are inducing undo stress to the mounts and cam rubs, and trying to rotatate those cam bolts under load will get you unwanted results. JMO. A-bodies are weak there, I always unload then adjust and bounce. It sucks but first time you bend out a cam tab you will wish you were more careful. I never had issues with my B-bodies and maybe only my particular A-body but post this as thought before you start cranking on the pull bar.
