97 F150 4x4 camber fix

My son just bought a 97 F150 4x4 with a lift kit. The thing is the driver side camber is
leaning big time inward. We adjusted the upper control arm I believe as far as we could.
The lower control arm has a slight downward slant.






As the passenger side is straight across:




The upper ball joint is in fare condition. Be looking at the lower control arm today.
It seems to me there is a pull or or something downward. Shock is free. When we had the
upper arm off the lower swiveled around so it is not frozen. I do not see any adjustments on the lower arm.

How to fix????

The truck does not have obvious coil or leaf springs. IT has TORSION bars that are actually a straight rod back to the area under the front seats. There is a cam and adjusting screw on the end of the "torsion bar" that "winds up to act as a spring".. I would guess you have the drivers side screwed down too far........... you should see the distance from the ground to the bottom of the fender will is an inch or two LARGER on the drivers side than the passenger side ?
