Been digging into the front a little and found a couple problems that you probably looked at already, but here they are:
-Missing left front leaf spring pin, let the front shift to the left a little
-Bent front spindles, both making positive camber
-pass side frame shackle mount...hard to explain but hole through mount not centered and forcing the shackle to push rear of spring towards driver side-need new
-rear pass side hanger wasted.
I loosened all the bolts and replaced the spring pin and that helped move the axel back where it should be. Not all the way there but closer. Did you change out your inframe shackle bushings?
