When you back up the front end naturally drops a bit which is what gives you the "camber" to be off on the tires. It's normal for the TTB front end on these trucks. Drive forward again and its back to normal

If your front springs Re weak it may cause it to sag a bit farther. Just a thought

Has it ever been to an alignment shop??? Did you put in the correct camber bushings with those "lift" springs? also Too much toe in will cause it too........

If you just put in a suspension lift, then you need to get the thing aligned. Front end isn't going to sit perfectly straight after messing with the suspension, any time you do it needs to be aligned.
