Default Really bad camber

Hello;
I am new to this site, i have a 92 f150 with a 6 inch suspensin lift quad shocks in the front 5.0 4x4 with independent suspension, my truck keeps cambering to an extreme and i cant figure it out, i know those trucks are notorious for that but i have it to an extreme, not normal, ive replaced the ball joints upper and lower and the pivot arm bushings on both sides and still doing it i need help, has anyone fixes this problem and if so how? And the extreme camber only happens in reverse
Thank you in advance for your help!

That extreme camber look when backing up is completely normal for the type of suspension you have, first time I saw one do it was when I backed a customers truck into a parking spot after I did an alignment on it, I completely freaked out and brought it back in on the alignment rack and took measurements again, damn thing was dead on as I had previously set it, had me scratching my head as suspension and alignment is one of my specialties (ex Ford tech).

For what ever reason, what you are seeing is perfectly normal for the I-Beam set up your truck has. I called the Ford hotline about it just in case and they told me the same thing.

Next time you back in, pull forward a couple feet and stop, now go look, you will see that extreme negative camber is gone, and that's how your tires will run as you drive.
