Question front tires camber problem

I just bought a 1990 f150 5.8 4x4 with 111,000 on it and i just noticed the front tires bow in pretty good and there is a 4" body lift. I was wondering what causes this problem and can it be fixed...also two of the box cross members under the bed where the lift bushings are sitting on are completely rusted and snapped in half where can i find replacements or should i just replace the bed. I would appreciate the help this is my first truck that i picked up for 1200 bucks has alot of ford cancer from michigan weather but the drive-train seems to run like a champ so far I really want to fix this bad boy up.

The front tires leaning could be loose/worn front wheel bearings, but probably the geometry of the TTB (Twin Traction Beam) front suspension is not correct anymore due to the lift kit, either not designed correctly (Cheap lift kit) or it was installed incorrectly. Or it may need to be aligned at a front-end alignment shop.

My Rancho 4" Suspension Lift with long Radius Arms cost $2,000.00 delivered on a pallet, my front tires do not lean, it drives straight and rides normal.
