my tires are extreme positive camber. Firestone says my bushings are not big enough. Installed Napa 3 1/8 degree. I am putting 31's on Tuesday.

Recently fixed both rusted and broken shackle and put in explorer leafs.
Should this help in alignment since more weight is on the front now since the little lift in the rear.
 
What do you have done to the front?
 
No lift or anything is what I meant.
 
If its all stock you shouldn't have extreme positive camber... If anything they sag out and the camber goes negative...

The tops of the tires are \--/ or like this /--\?
 
Naw don't hate on the TTB. We'll help you figure it out.

So you replaced the ball joints and tie rods... if your toe is grossly out of spec, sometimes this can cause a camber problem. Do your tires change from positive to negative camber or vice versa when you change direction? AKA going from drive, to reverse?
 
yeah. i don't even want to drive it right now since we have almost a foot of snow. it fells like it is trying to take me off the road. It sucked have to take a trailer home today. I was all over the road!!

So is that a yes or a no in response to my previous question?
 
Firestone finally did something right. It was only a 1/2 degree and 1 degree on the other. Those explorer leafs worked great and putting more weight on the front. Before i was almost 5 degrees off. Which tore the shit out of my tire.

Thanks for everyone input.
 
i was havin this problem w my truck also mine are both diggin in\--/ but only the passenger side is worn down alot..it goes from no tread on the outside to full on the inside of the tire..i got a 1.5 level an 2 inch daystar coil spacer
 
Which is way too much to be alignable with out drop brackets.
