Alignment issue

I got a 2inch leveling kit installed on my 2002 X 2wd v10, got it aligned but the shop couldn't get it right because there isn't room in the knuckle so it has a positive camber. I noticed today when I go in reverse the tires straighten out but when I got forward they go into positive camber! What's causing this? Also what can I do/get to get the alignment correct?

I read somwhere about drop pivot brackets?? But can't find any for excursions
Driver side with positive camber (pic taken going forward)
Passenger side with positive camber (pic taken going forward)

Tire straighten out when going in reverse

By "leveling kit" I'm guessing it was plastic spacer that was installed under your coil spring ?

The nature of fords twin beam front ends is that that loose camber in reverse, just one of the quirks of the geometry.

As for your leveling kit camber issue, if the alignment shop can't adjust it take it out.
