bad positive camber

i put 2inch coil spacers on my 1991 f150 2wd ...and all the shops said that my tires are really far out of alignment and it will cost lots of money to get them fixed...and they said i might as well take the spacers out......is there anyway to fix this?? do they make drop brackets that will work?

all they have to do is adjust the camber on an alignment machine. theyre trying to dupe you.

i had some pretty good negative camber before and i work at sears for a college job and so i brought it in there. cost me 130 out the door for labor to install adjustable camber bushings as my old ones werent adjustable and to do an in warranty alignment (id already been in there for one after replacing my tie rods)

hey, I also had 2 inch spacers in place not too long ago. I went to Ford, glad I did. Im not going to a half @$$ mechanic who thinks he can do alignments properly. (which I did in the past when the 4 inch lift kit was installed) Ford added adjustment bushings on both ends , greased everything, aligned, and even repostioned the I beams which I had forgotten to do. It cost me $356 but they did a damn good job, the tires no longer sit like this / \ but perfect:
