Having trouble with alignment NEED HELP

I have a 95 ford f-150 with the coil front suspension i did a 2 inch leveling kit and then the camber was out so i then installed the 2 inch axle pivot drop brackets. my camber went for \\ // to // \\ so then i was told i needed the camber bushing for the top ball joint put them in eye balled them up good enough to just be able to drive it to the alignment shop when i notice when i back up and stop both tires are laying inward then ifi drive forward and stop the tires a laying outward. the only thing i can think of is the axle pivot bushing are shot they didnt look bad when i put the drop brackets in . any help would be greatly appreciated..
thanks, Ryan

something aint tight. when you torque down that upper nut on the upper ball you pretty much lock it in. sure you didnt bust up a radius arm or something? any pics?

everything looks fine but your right something seems loose but i went over everything thats why i was woundering if it might be the bushings at the axle pivot brackets...

From what I have gathered here, the three most common causes of this are:

weak coil springs
bad ball joints
bad pivot bushings

I don't think a pivot drop bracket is necessary on a 2 " lift.
