Can I fix my camber problem
Ok im tired of the passenger tire leaning with the awesome camber position my D50 is in. I dont if an alignment/tire shop can fix it but found the camber parts on rockauto and was wondering if this was something i could fix myself and if anyone has tried to do this themselves?

Not familiar with your lift. But it must have a drop bracket. If its adjustable you can use that adjustability to help with camber issues. Make sure all your spring bushings are in good shape or new before you make any alignment changes.

Yes it has a drop bracket i believe and no i dont think its adjustable. It had new front shackles installed with the springs when the lift was installed. but the back ones may be worn out.

IF all of your bushings are good especially the pivot bushings, then you need to find a spring shop to correct it. DO NOT try to correct OBVIOUS camber with alignment bushings. Get a spring shop to set your arch to an eyeballed zero camber and only then let an alignment shop mess with it. First you Ned to check your ride height though. Check the same place at the fender lip on all four wheels and see if they are off. More than a half inch difference will mess things up. The problem with the ride height should become pretty obvious.
