Default Front end problem

I have a 93 f150 4x4 xlt 5.0 I just got. It seems to be raised a little. On flat surface the front tire are aligned but on a in cline small or big the tire bowe in at the top I changed the ball joints and still have the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

That's normal due to the I-beam suspension.

A camber kit isn't going to fix it. It does that. It is normal.

You don't have to take my word for it, but it is true. If you haven't had the truck aligned yet go in and do that. You can ask them the same thing and if they know these trucks they will confirm it's normal. If all parts that affect alignment are good and it is aligned you will see that it still does it.

Rotating the tires regularly is a good idea.
