front alignment question
So I just finished doing the lift on the front end of my jeep. I'm noticing now that the camber seems off. I know its a solid axle and it shouldn't be off, but the wheel isn't sitting how I would expect it to. When I align the toe, would it possibly correct this?

Here are a couple of DIY alignment write-ups

I'm guessing you just installed the ball joints.....so i'll double check those to make sure they are properly installed before working on the alignment cos yours look pretty off.

Your toe is way off. It will also fix your camber issue. Adjust the toe to no more that 1/8" difference between the front and the back of the tires. Anytime you mess around with the front suspension, other than changing shocks, I would re align...

Thanks guys. I planned on realligning, but when I saw how bad the camber looked I got worried only because its a solid axle and camber really isn't adjustable. Glad to hear toe should correct this...
