Default Help with Camber adjustment on 2010 1500 RAM

Hello all,
Can anyone help; I recently had a 2" spacer kit installed into my 2010 - 1500 RAM. It was installed mainly for when i plow snow in winter. However, i love how it leveled off the front end and the truck looks way better. I have noticed the front wheels are out of camber though doing this- \-----/
I was told an alignment was all that was needed, but the alignment shop said there is no camber adjust on these trucks. The truck drives fine and rides fine and does not pull right or left. So what's the easiest way to fix this?

Thanks

you better find a better alignment shop and have them align the truck you can adjust the camber on our trucks,and after you go to another shop get a before and after printout and go back to the first shop ad get your money back because they charged you for a job they couldnt complete and/or do properly

The camber could be adjusted up to a certain point but with the spacer the camber cannot be adjusted properly, it gets maxed out and the end result is the tires sit at a slight angle.

I know others are different, but take this from someone who has a 2wd and has a 6 inch lift, i took mine in twicw then got my money back............went to one other shop, this young guy knew his stuff, I brought in the actual read out from Dodge for our trucks, he put it EXACTLY what dodge recommended, when he was done he showed me the numbers on the screen, the wheels were CLOSE but I could still see the angle on the wheels, like yours, not that bad, but still could see it, to me it was terrible, he asked me if I wanted him to do it his way, of course I said yes......he tells me he aligns them like the chevys, when they come in with with spacers and lifts, I swear he eyeballed and used the machine together, IT IS PERFECT.....no weird wear, and when it is in the parking lots, i dont know why, guess I am weird ,but I look at my front wheels to see if they are angled or not, mine are perfect now, took my 99 in to him ,because it did the same thing with its 3 inch lift, was told before couldnt adjust it anymore, but now the tires track straight. so it can be done---- finding a good shop to do it is tough, found out later this is the shop that most of the shops around here(which there are a ton) that do SERIOUS lifts take the trucks, B&C that did the 19 inch custom lift for a member here , aligns most of there stuff......
