6" is a lot of lift for a ttb. I'd have someone drive it forward and back a foot or so while watching to see what's moving in the front end. I believe it's more that the wheels toe in giving the illusion of camber.

You need a trip to the alignment rack... if you have static negative camber, the reverse/back up problem will be worse.
