camber problems??????

Hello,
Im currently having problems with my 95 f150. I have negitive camber, about 3 degrees on each side. Tires look like / \ . They used to be out around 5 degrees each. I have a 4" suspension lift and a 3" body lift. Currently running 35 x 14.50 x 15. They were around 5 degrees on either side until i brought it to the shop. They used shims that helped a bit, but now my alignment is out.(steers to the right bad!)They tell me i need new coil springs. Does anyone agree? If it helps my frame was twisted slightly by the passengers side radius arm, im not to sure how out they were before i bent the frame cause i only had the truck for 6 months. The lift has been on there for at least 3 years that i know of. Specs say my camber should be 0.25" on either side. I want to buy new tires but i will have bad tire wear.

A few other things my truck comes stock with 3.55's is that still okay for 35" tires. My power plant is only a 302. Im not sure if its stock gears in their, this is what i got off the diff tag

S83 8J
55 88 5E25
Its a 10 bolt design. Dana 44 (open Diff)
ANY IDEAS?

geez...ford and their camber issues....ok if the shop put new shims in and that helped but didnt fix the problem completely, then your springs are probably sagging pretty bad. the suspension on your truck articulates like this ( ) so if your springs are sagging, your wheels will be stuck like / \ , just like you said. some aftermarket springs sag with age, some dont, depends on the brand. so all in all, you need new springs to level your truck out and let the suspension sit neutral at 0 degrees. as for the frame damage, that could mess all sorts of things up, i have no idea what you'll run into with that. hell it may not affect it at all. does this help
