d44 closed knuckle tire lean

My tire seems to be leaning in at the top a degree or two, I already tore the hubs apart and repacked the bearings. Do I need to replace the king pin bearings? That would be the only other thing I can see that would make the tire lean in like that. It's not a bad lean and there's no movement in the front end, I need some ideas/help because I got a 140mi one way trip easter weekend and quite a bit offroad.

Nvm, figured it out. Lower king pin bearings are shot.

Now the next problem, where to find the bearings... Called around and the only place I found them was online and a 4wheel parts but they want $115 Plus shipping. Does anyone have the timkin part number for the lower bearings or any part numbers that could help me out?
