I installed the kit on this page, fourth item down. It's been a year and so far no problems. Truck drives and steers like new and the tire wear is perfectly even.

wow. I am surprised those joints only lasted 30,000 miles. I assume they were greasables? Was the assembly done correctly and correct tourques used?
Caster can not be adjusted.
Camber can be by using a different sleeve on the upper balljoint.
Toe is adjustable.
Check your tire pressure and wear pattern first. Make sure both tires are at the same pressure.
Get it to an alignment shop.
