2 1/2in lift messed up alignment

ok so i recently put a 2 1/2in lift on my 1997 toyota tacoma 4WD....The lift included spacer blocks on the front coil springs. the problem is that with these blocks in, the wheels sit tilted in at the bottom, causing the outermost tread to wear down quickly. how do i fix this?? before i buy new tires

I would start with getting an alignment.

Australia 2 1/2" lift!

Hi guys, I recently lifted the front of my 2007 Hilux SR5 4WD dual cab and it also buggered the alignemnt. WIth the factory camber pins I was not able to get any further adjustment and as a result ot has started to wear the outside edges off the tyres cause I only have negative camber. Are you aware of anyone in the USA that makes an adjustable camber pin as if these could be sourced and fitted it would solve the problem.

You must have excessive positive camber to eat the outside edge of your tires (or possibly toe-in). Negative camber / \ willl eat the inside edge.

You should be able to buy crash bolts, which are camber pins with more adjustment than the OEM ones.

Australia Crash Bolts/Camber Pins

I have negative camber and the factory adjustment is set at its maximum. Do you know of anyone selling Crash Bolts/Camber Pins to suit the 2007 Hilux as no one in Australia does them. Cheers and thanks.
