Alignment!?
I have a 79 Bronco with a 6" suspension lift with 36" super swampers...the other day i looked at my front end and the top of both wheels are out further then the bottom! Im not sure how long it's been like that but im guessing a while cuz the tires are bald on the outside and good on the inside of the tires ~~>:' ( Guys at work said somthing about "camber". Can anyone tell me how to fix the "camber" on my truck?

Well, you 79 has a straight Dana 44 front axle right? If so, then there is no adjustment too the camber, only the toe-in. I have only heard of this problem being th other way around, cause when people would jump there bronco or whatever, the axle could become bent and bow, but this would cause the opposite of your problem, wear in the inside of the tires.

You really cant fix the camber, toe-in, or any of the alignment items unless you have the alignment equipment. Best to take it in. Since you ahve the lift and all, take it to a 4x4 shop. They have the experience to deal with trucks that are lifted.

The toe-in is easy too adjust, you just measure the difference in the front and back of the front tires then adjust the tierod ends, to make about 1/2" less in the front then back. Then you end up with 1/2" toe-in

Ahhhh My bad..
.yea you can adjust toe in..no prob there.. 
.but tough to get it right though or at least as accurate as a shop. Camber on the other hand... 4x4 shop since it is lifted.

Had the same problem with my 90 bronco, the top further out than the bottom. Took it to the alignment doctor for a visit a fixed it right up.
