'01 2wd with leveling needs caster adjustment

I've searched but couldn't find anything. I hope that's because it's such an easy fix.
I have a 2001 f250 with the 7.4 PS. I used a daystar coil spacer to level the front, but now the camber/caster is way off. I've taken it to have it realigned (despite that it drives straight as an arrow) and they couldn't help me. Is there really no way to change the camber/caster on these trucks? I'm hoping they were either lazy, or didn't know what they were talking about.
I'm thinking about doing a dangerous thing... making my own adapter to lower the mounting point of the I-beam.
Advice please.
Thanks guys,

There are adjustable cams for the caster adjustment. They go around the top ball joint. A good alignment shop should have readily available. NAPA has them.

that is music to my ears!
That's what I assumed, but the 'alignment shop' I went to-I guess-were a bunch of @#%$^&* and didn't want to work too hard. I can not imagine they didn't know. They lied to me.
Anyway, I'll start taking my vehicles elsewhere I guess.
Thanks a lot!
