It's not hard but you need a tool to measure camber. You can get one from a racing supply house for about $75 or so. Set it as close to 0 degrees as you can get.
You will also need offset bushings to be able to adjust it. You can get these pretty cheap from rockauto.com but you need to know what your current bushing offset is and also what camber reading you have currently, so you know how much correction you need.

I took out my 2 inch coils and put a 6 inch lift on my truck about 3 months ago all you gotta do is get new camber bushing and take it for an alignment.

i have been having trouble getting the camber bushing out after removing the cotter pin and nut from the top, it seems to be seized in there, any suggestions ? or how did yours come out.

You need to know what your caster and camber is now so youcan calculate where to put the adjustable bushing in. The best thing to do is take it to an alignment shop and have them do it.

A good alignment shop can install adjustable bushings and do a proper alignment. If its not put a machine to take proper measurements, its a guess. Tires are to expensive to guess. You can save some money and install the bushings yourself but take it in for a tech to adjust properly.
I use a chisel as a wedge, on the edge of the bushings to force it out(between the lip of the bushing and the top of the knuckle). The front tire must be off the ground to relieve the pressure from the ball joint. Use penetrating oil to loosen it up.

You dont put the bushings in then adjust them... you put them in with the proper orientation to correct caster and camber. There is no need to replac your current bushings with adjustable ones, the alignment tech will have to remove them again to get them oriented correctly.
