Default camber question

I have a 98 jeep cherokee 2wd with a 6.5'' lift and wide rims and tires so my cambers thrown off pretty bad and wearing my tires. I got a set of offset lower ball joints it made it better but its not completely correct. Can a 98 use those ball joint shims or can I only use offset ball joints? Thanks for the help.

Adjustables only.

I used 2 Deg Uppers from napa on my old D30, worked great.

==================================================

TRUST ME,,, it it the TOE,,, Measure from center of tire in the front,, to center of other tire. (Left and right front tires) center to center then same for the rear of the front tires.

Do the same for the REAR of the front tires,, I bet you have a HUGE difference.

Mine was almost 2 inches difference.

Did a fast align (here in how to 's) and it was all straight again.

TYR IT AT LEAST,,

let us know.

RIght after i put the offset balljoints on i got the alignment done and you could still see when its flat on my driveway that it still wasnt totally correct. Right now the toe is definitely alot off because im doing some front end work and I tweeked alot of stuff.
