Bad Camber after ZJ Tie Bar Swap
So I just upgraded from my bent stock tie rod to the ZJ rod on my 1991 XJ. Before the swap I had no camber issues. Now whenever I move the rig even only about 20 feet the tires get some weird lean (both sides). It is only in the front end and if i jack up the axle the tires visibly correct themselves. I am running a 3 inch lift with stock control arms and 33 inch tires. Anybody have any ideas on what could be causing the issue?

Excessive toe out will give the illusion of negative camber. But check the front end out and make sure the ball joints are ok.

The toe is probably of but I don't think that's the only issue. When I jack the front end the tires slide across the ground probably half an inch to an inch. It is bad enough that anytime I move it I have to jack the front end and lower it to have the tires straight.
