first is first...welcome to F150FORUM.

Our trucks don't have A-arms, we have I-Beams/TTB. It is one nut that adjusts your camber...but your camber is not what "pulls" your suspension down when driving forwards or backward, it's your toe.

It sounds to me like you just need an alignment by a pro.

Look for drop down brackets for your i beams and radius bars.

thanks for the info, so which is the nut to adjust the camber???

well when the truck sits the front end sags probably a good 2 inches the 35in tires rub when turned and the insides of my tires are bald so an alignment will take care of it...

the "nuts" to adjust camber are called eccentrics. They are on your spindle - your upper ball joint sits in them.

First adjust toe so that the truck stays level (does not rise or sqaut) when going forward or backward - from there you have your accurate ride hieght. Then you can determine whether you can adjust your eccentrics enough to bring it back into spec, need aftermarket eccentrics, or you need something else like a coil spacer, new coils, etc.
