serious camber problems
i have a 1995 f150 and am having serious camber problems. I have a 4" suspension lift and a 3" body lift on a 302 5ltr regular cab, shortbox. Im running 35 x 14.50 x 15 tsl swampers. The camber was out around 5-6 degrees so i brought it to the shop and they were able to get it around 3-4 degrees by using shims. Specs say they should be at 0.25 degrees. The mechanic said it may be because of my coil springs are no good. Any idea? I want to buy new tires as these ones are pretty well toast but dont want to ruin them as i still have serious camber. If it helps my frame was bent but got it straightened again. Some say they dont think it could be coil springs. Any input would be great.

That's about the only thing I can think of right off hand that would cause them to go negative. How are the ball joints and wheel bearings? The could cause a little bit of negative camber, but I don't think they would cause as much as you are experiencing. Worth checking out though, if you haven't done so already.
