Default Camber help

The camber on my 01 1500 2wd is really off. It's wearing my tires really bad. Can I adjust it myself?

Camber is not adjustable except by offset ball joint. You have another problem.

Oops, missed that, sorry! IFS camber is adjustable.

CAMBER: Move the forward position of the pivot
bar in or out. This will change the camber angle significantly
and caster angle only slightly. The camber
angle should be adjusted as close as possible to the
preferred service specification. After adjustment
is made tighten pivot bar nuts to specifications.
