Camber problem. Help!

[Woods-Rider]

I noticed i had some negative camber a little while ago and couldn't figure out the problem since it was adjusted all the way positive. I had my truck in the shop on Monday to have some gears installed and while it was in there i had them take a look at it. they said it was bad inner tie rod ends and bearing hub. I tore it apart and found them to be bad so i spent the next day and a half making trips back and forth to Napa replacing both inners and one outer that was bad and the bad bearing hub. i took it in for an alignment when i was done. they said since my torsion bars were cranked they couldn't get rid of my camber issue. i took it home lowered the front via torsion twist and took it back just to have them tell me they still couldn't align it properly. what else could it be? i have a 4" Superlift and 3" body lift and am running 35's. heres a pic of how bad it is.

BUMP!!...
No one has any ideas?

Your suspension looks like it's sitting too low.

Are your torsion bars sagged out maybe? If you could raise the height up more, it'd probably would help your issue.

The camber was like this before i lowered it by cranking the torsion bars. Anyone know the relative angle between the A-arms and the I-beam on stock rangers? I just want to get it back to stock and see if that helps. Maybe a pic of someones stock front end just like the pic i posted so i can see what it is supposed to look like.

Can't you buy adjustable eccentrics for the upper a-arms? When I had mine aligned after I cranked the torsion bars, I bought the kits from NAPA in case we needed them.

Also, iirc, the SLA front end on the Rangers is a parallel arm set-up. The wheels will lean in on both compression and droop.

I don't have a good pic, but I can tell you the CV shafts should have around a 10-15° downslope to them (toward the wheel) at static ride height on level ground (your's look like they might have 10-15° of UPslope).

I would say you have to come up a good 2-3" before you try aligning it.

What are eccentrics and how much do adjustable ones cost?

So maybe i started out too low. ill give them a crank and see what happens. I am taking it in to an alignment specialist tomorrow since my local les schwab was no help. when i was talking to the shop on the phone they said i might have to have a "kit" installed, would they have been talking about adjustable eccentrics?

I bet they were. I tried finding pics online of the kit but with no luck. I didn't need mine and didn't really look that closely at what was in the box. They were something like a long bolt, two thick washers with a square hole and an offset round hole, and a couple other small parts I don't remember. Make sure you have the truck at the height you want it before you have it aligned. Going up or down is going to change your camber.
