Camber- Does it look normal?

[wanted]

It has a 4" Tuff Country. All joints new. But it appears the wheels stick out too much on top. I have seen some like this and other that are square. I just want to know if the lifted springs could have caused this or maybe it has always been like this and I never noticed. I drew a line on the last picture to give a reference

Camera angles can be deceiving, but that doesn't look right. And with a straight axle, taller leaf springs shouldn't affect camber. Like you said, maybe you just never noticed it before you put the lift springs on. Have you taken measurements to compare the distance between the top of the tires against the bottom of the tires?

Thanks for the reply.
The springs can affect the caster angle which on this type of axle it will indirectly affect Camber. I just am wondering if somebody else has a Tuff country EZride 4" lift to compare it and see if it is the same or else I will surely go insane.

My 76 looked the same with a 4" lift and still looks the same with a 6" lift. I had a guy tell me they were supposed to be like that and then a guy on here tell me that wasn't true so I'd like to know myself. It doesn't seem to drive bad but I did start to notice some tire wear after about 10k.

My rear axle looks like that, and had some pretty bad tire wear. Turned out to be abent axle tube. Not saying this is your case, but just a thought.

The new springs may require different length shackles. I'd contact Tuff Country and ask if you have the right kit, and if you are missing something.

My understanding is that the caster and camber are built into the axle and cannot be changed without bending the knuckles. That said, I guess if the axle was rotated in the lifting process, I could see where the relative camber would be affected. Make sure the toe in is good - I had a truck where the toe in was out and it gave the illusion that the camber was off. I think that bigger tires make it look worse than it really is. If the tires don't wear funny and it goes down the road straight, you are probably ok. Doesn't look too bad to me

Exactly or shims on the leafs... are the nuts on the tires tighten???

[wyomech]

find a good alignment shop and have it measured with gauges .there are correction shims that can be installed between the spindle and knuckle that are tapered,sometimes people take the front end apart and dont put the shims back in right which can make the camber even worse
