Installed 4.5" lift now tires lean in
I installed a 4.5" lift and now my tires lean in at the top, I dont know if they could be that far out of alignment from the lift or not? and I know my axle isnt centered my ball joint on the stock track bar is shot Im waiting for my IRO double sheer to get here but have you guys seen them lean in like this after a lift? Also My passenger side hub assembly is going bad I need to get that done asap

i would start by install new track bar & center axle, fix the other known problems then see what you got. a basic alignment wont cure a camber issue,at least not on a xj. thats way more involved to correct.

You possibly have a camber issue which is not adjustable on a solid axle like on an XJ and has nothing to do with the lift. If it is off now it was off before and you didn't notice. This is usually caused by bad ball joints or in some cases wheel bearings. If these check out then you have a bent axle and you are better off just replacing it since getting it straightened is expensive. It is important to note that some negative camber is normal tho I cannot recall the actual spec.
Heres the spec for camber. -.25 degrees is optimal with an acceptable range from -.75 to +.50 degrees.
