question about camber after lift
I just had a very reputable shop in my area install my 3'' bds lift on my 2011 jku sport. They also installed 1.25 spidertrax spacers and 315/70/17 tires on my stock wheels. I noticed yesterday that my front tires look like the camber is off. Tighter up top than bottom of tire. I even took a level to them and they were off.(i realize thats probably not the most accurate way to measure) Is my camber off with the spacers? I have looked around on here to see if this is common and all I seem to find are threads about death wobble and the fix is the ball joints. My jeep only has 6k on it. It drives great, but I don't want my $1400 tires wearing uneven. That hurt the wallet once and I want to get as much out of them as I can.
I appreciate all the advice.

Found this in another thread:
As far as I know, Spidertrax do NOT come in 1.25" (at least not according to their website) and the ones I'm running are 1.5". Are you sure they're spidertrax? The reason I'm asking is to be sure you're not getting ripped off by the installer... because if they used some low-grade crappy wheel spacers, it's unlikely but there's a small possibility they warped and are causing the problem.
jeeps have solid front axles and camber adjustment will not be needed and so no ability to adjust it is present. if you have camber, your axle c's are bent and you can correct for them with off set balljoints as mentioned. they cost about $85-$100 each and do require a degree of effort to install - no pun intended
As stated, if your camber is outta spec, most likely a bent c, axle housing, or bad ball joints. The only way to correct camber on a bent c or housing is adj ball joints. I highly suggest you gusset your C's to keep them from bending.especially running large tires.you will need to take it to a good alinement shop so they can advise whether you'll need adj ball joints or not.
