With a lifted front end with either springs or spacers aren't you changing the centre line that runs trough the ball joints? Isn't it now being pushed forward? Wouldn't that change the camber?

according to all ive read jeeps are set from the factory with zero camber so turing the axle should no affect this issue

It has always been my impression that the centerline through the ball joints was "perfectly" vertical, so turning the axle would not change the camber. This makes sense to me since its not REALLY adjustable aside from ball joint tricks but caster is, so if they go to make caster changes then the camber would be uncontrollably out of whack = no good

Just found out there are shims that go between the knuckel and the hub that can adjust Camber along with the offset ball joints.

Hopefully it's just a worn out hub causing this. Everything else has just been replaced with new! (Ball joints)
Another thing that I've found in my research is replacing the trackbar with an adjustable one can also help fix camber problems.
edit: maybe I should have taken the picture further back. You can really notice it when pulling into the driveway.
