Any way to adjust camber?
I installed a 3 inch leaf spring lift last week and for the life of me I can’t get the alignment right.
I did the “redneck” toe in adjustment and that worked fine but now the camber is visibly off, but only on the passenger side.
My Chilton manual says there’s no camber adjustment on a solid axle. Is this true? What am I missing here?

There is no camber adjustment on a solid axle.
Actually, I've heard of band-aid things like offset trunnion bearing races and spindle shims but I've never actually seen them for sale. Maybe it's an Aussie thing? The reality is though, if your camber is out, your axle is bent. Best to measure it and see if it's actually out.

I’ll have to pull it apart. The PO claimed he “just had the front axle rebuilt” so my bet is they either messed it up, or less likely, they put some kind of shim in to account for the tired springs.

on a solid axle tired springs will not affect camber. I don't know of any shims for the Toyota solid axles to adjust camber, if all is tight, the axle housing or steering knuckle are bent!!!
