Default LOTS of CAMBER after lift

Hey guys i am still in the process of finishing up the lift in my jeep, ( working on rear still) And i was admiring how high the front was and noticed that if i stand way back and look at the front end of the jeep, There is a tone of camber in my front end, or seems to be. Is this normal? Will a alighnment fix this? Also dont know if it matters but i have not hooked up my track bar yet. ( waiting on drill bits)


I am thinking and hopeing that it will be fixed with a alighnment and its not bad ball joints, Dont feel like bad joints


thanks guys

im pretty sure theres no way to adjust camber since its a solid axle. but you can get off set ball joints to correct the camber if it really is off.

no its not normal, no an alignment wont fix it, no it wasnt a result of the lift.

put a picture up so we can see. Although if there really is a TON of camber then it really wouldnt be driveable

offset ball joints arent really the answer here, since they only treat the result, not the cause. if you have a warped housing, which is pretty much how you would get "really" bad camber on a solid axle, the offset ball joints wont fix that

Ok thanks guys, I think i mat have figured it out, I think with the track bar not hooked up and the axel not centered under the jeep, it looks like theres lots of camber, Aslo ( DUMB ME) i did not have all the lug nuts on, I only had the tires on it to turn it around to start lift in rear. Im thinking it has to do with the lug nuts and axel not being centered. I will hook everything u and see what i find out.

This was my daily driver and was not like this before i took apart
