New guy with Camber Issues! Need Help

Hey Guys,

I'm new and am having issues with negative camber after replacing my ball joints, tie rod ends, and wheel bearings. the wheels are like this / \ looking straight at it. The tech who aligned it said it was just because the springs were sagging. Is this believable? Truck only has 100K on it. Also, the camber bushings were quite rusted, so I have decided to replace them and try to get it aligned at a different shop, I'm also going to replace the springs with the 2wd f-250 coils, but whish camber bushings and springs do I need, Napa lists like 10 of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my work horse and I really need to get it fixed. Thanks.

These are the links:

F250 springs are likely too stiff for your ride, but what is your ride? Do you have a heavy 460 with a heavy winch or other accessories up front?

The links don't work for me. I like the adjustable caster/camber bushings from NAPA.

I had the same issue with a little negative camber at 110k miles.

These are the adjustable bushings: (listed for 80-96 F150/250 4WD...and others).

^^^NAPA should be able to cross reference the Ingall's part number, since that's usually who makes the NAPA bushings.

By the way;
If you go into your "UserCP" and "Edit Your Details", there's a placeholder for year/make/model.
That way we know exactly what vehicle you're referring to.

One can also add that info in a "signature" in usercp. My new one below.
