Camber Out 1.5

I have 15x10 wheels with 31x12.50-15 ProComp AT's on my 1995 F-150 4x4. The front end shop told me that to correct it would require a camber kit, and would throw the caster out really bad. As it is, the toe is good, the caster is good, but the camber is out. The wheels look like they're leaning in at the top. The guy also told me it should hurt my tires, and the reason the caster is bad is because of the offset of my wheels. I just put those wheels on the other day, and the factory wheels were doing the same thing.

The question is, are they lying to avoid dealing with it? It drives fine, straight, and smooth......

Take it somewhere else.There is no camber "kit" for your truck.Camber is adjusted at the upper balljoint with an "insert".They don't wear out or go bad.But they come in different sizes in 1/4 degree increments.There are some after market one's that will adjust caster also,but the standard one's only adjust camber.
