Default Wheels Doin \---/ After Lift

I finally put coil spacers in my 2wd 93 F150 so i could fit some 31s and now my wheels are doing this \---/. I went to Town Fair Tire to get an alignment and they told me there is no way to adjust the camber on my truck. Has anyone else run into this problem and how do you fix it?

Youll need aftermarket adjustable camber bushings, most stock bushings dont have enough angle to correct the camber issue after a lift.

This is just a quick search I did, but you need to know how far off the camber is so you can buy the proper bushings.

Ingalls makes fully adjustable bushings if you want to forgo needing to know the exact correction needed.
(NAPA carries them or can order them)
Here's the part, adjustable from 0° to 3-1/2° on a 2WD.

I dont whether this is good luck or bad luck but when i went to Town Fair Tire, they didnt tell me the camber cant be adjusted until after they did the alignment (WTF!) but they gave me the print out of how ****ed up my front end is (the toe was at dangerous levels so at least they fixed that) but it says my camber is 3.2-3.3 degrees so I can just order accordingly. Thanks for all the help everyone!
