camber alignment on lifted SR5

I bought a lifted 90 SR5 last year. I have gone through 1 set of front tires already. The guy I bought it from did some good things and some cheesy things. He lifted the rear with a great spring system. However, he lifted the front by torquing the torsion bars all the way out and pur in 2" lifts. The camber is all screwed up. Any suggestions for fixing this issue and still keeping it lifted? I use the truck to log for my firewood and plowing mostly. Thanks.

Follow the FSM instructions to align the camber, it's actually pretty easy. Once you have hit the limit of the adjustable range, that's it. You need to look into other things to change.

I have done the camber adjustment per the manual. What I am looking for is other ideas to look at. Thanks.

remove the lift and un-crank the torsion bars? not sure what answers you are looking for. if you are worried about tire wear, an alignment machine that shoots ˟˟˟˟ing lasers off of sensors on the wheels is probobly a little more accurate than your eye and or a tape measure.
