Re: Positive camber... just remove the shims?
Changing the spindle is enough to require a front end alignment. Worn parts: the old spindle might had a slight bend in them from years of driving, worn ball joints, or toe in too much. Plus manufacture tolerance can play a role in it. In my opinion any time I do front end work I perform a alignment check. Money ahead in my book. Whoever perform the alignment will be changing/adjusting the shims to get the caster and camber correct. And with our trucks the frame angle is taken into account (ref. the manual).
One thing to note if you have manual steering. Make sure your caster is close to zero on the positive side. This will make steering easier when drive slowly.
