/ \ camber

hey all 1990 f150 4x4 5.8 auto with 4.5 suspension and 35 in tires. camber is way in at the top ONLY after backing up go forward a little bit and the tires look perfect.everything is tight in the front end and the truck does not pull or anything. now here is what i did,originaly my lift was 2.5 with drop brackets ,pivot brackets and new coils etc. I then wanted to go a little higher and got a great deal on spring spacers and add a leafs. now i realized my camber was to positive and then used ORIGINAL brackets(pivot) and cut and welded 4.5 in length into them and un-installed the pivot brackets that came with the 2.5 lift and installed the "new" 4.5 in brackets. truck runs and looks fine except when i back up and the front tires noticably go in at the top on both tires. any one have any ideas? thanks

NOTHING wrong with it. It's just one of those things the Twin-I front ends do.
