Ok, if negative camber is the wheel leaning inside, like this / then why is my tire wearing down uneven on the outside? Wouldnt that angle put more pressure on the tread on the inside? Can someone please explain?

toe in or out..both tires toe in > / \ both tires toe out > \ / with ^ being the front of the truck. you could also have 1 of each / /. needs an alignment

exactly the issue....I have slight positive camber now after adding the control arms, but didn't want to shell out for an aligment since it's in PRETTY good shape and I'm about to lower it more anyway, but now I have some slight inner tire wear on the drivers side from minor toe problems, but I was trippin out at first seeing inner tread wear with slight pos camber. Getting it aligned this weekend after I finish dropping it. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif
