I wasn’t expecting the O.P to reply was looking for kennythewelders reply , in which he did.. he had made a point I was chiming in on .. I should have quoted it and then it would made sense .. my bad

Over all My problem is the wheel size. I’m just getting some 16s and the alignment toe -in is causing neg camber in
( reverse). It’s all good

A solution is 0.25 inch spacers rings that rough country mentioned are available and necessary for factory 15” that you can actually find and use.
I might try that for now until I get wheels that clear

Why would you tag onto a 5 year old thread posted by someone else with a completely different truck and problems? It would help others help you much better if you'd started your own thread.

I hijack all the time too.. It does start looking a little weird...
I think I remember you used to be able to have a thread, with it's title, but every time you wanted to inject a different topic into your thread, you could enter a subject line and it would pop up in the recent threads as such. But the main thread title would remain?
Not sure how that works for future people searching for a topic. Guess it would only hit them on the main title...
I need to look....

Never had a camber issue prior with the last 4-6” front lift “ even with the 20s and 33s

It’s just a reverse backing up thing ,

I was just saying when I searched spindle lift and camber, a lot of stories and issues people were having popped up. That's about as much help or knowledge I have on this subject unfortunately.

it’s just that neg camber that grabs and yanks the tires inward

That's not a thing negative camber does. Tons of lowered trucks have negative camber and they have no issue reversing. Something is very loose or very out of adjustment

You can see it happening inch by inch as you reverse . Then go forward it verticals out even and then slightly positive cambers (( visually )).

Sounds like something loose or bent or broken or something you forgot to install, combined with you not having the truck aligned and the toe being way off

Stop trying to align it yourself. Go get an actual alignment at a reputable shop

Did you listen to anything said and how it was said … dude when you lift a truck or lower a truck you have to adjust the outer tie-rods either in or out to even connect the outer tie - rod back to the spindle, doing this all while your vehicle remains in your driveway. Therefore, you have to get it close enough to , drive 20 feet down the road ( safely) let alone 5 miles get it to a fn shop for a real alignment that’s the problem not that I’m trying to leave my truck with my DIY alignment.

I brought a legitimate question to the forum . There ain’t sh** broke bent Loose miss placed or done wrong . I can assure you that . This is a toe-in and toe-out issue causing this phenomenon when reversing . I agree it’s not perfectly set. I’m sure that’s what’s causing it. I would agree with you if my truck was a scabby truck from a rusty state and I didn’t have $900 in front suspension components replaced already TTX ball joints, TTX tire rods Borgeson box Moog idler Moog Pitman has nothing to do with any of that

Exactly. Go get it aligned. You got it close enough to drive so you need a professional alignment now

I replaced all the front end parts on my truck 5 years ago, had to trim the tie rods and adjust them to be "close enough" and drove it 20 miles to the shop. It drove like $hit on the way there. Dancing around and pulling all over.

I paid for an actual alignment from a professional shop and it drove perfectly on the way home

put it on a frame machine that will give you answers
