and then get a proper alignment to verify

yea i think ill leave the pinion angle alone it seems to be fairly close to spec but im still got to take it to get a good alignment as soon as it has 35s on all 4 corners, but im just happy the camber issue was just no air pressure lol i really really dont like ball joints or wheel bearings on any vehicle thanks for the help 96xj your help is appreciated very much

ok pumped tires up to 32 psi and that changed alot! no more camber and the toe doesn't look as bad now, made a appointment for aliment next Thursday so by next weekend ill be able to drive my baby again. Put my rough county 2.2 steering stabilizer on today that thing is massive very nice, also put that black rubber trim on my fenders to make the edge look nice. all cladding is back on and now its just a waiting game, think i might order a snorkel and a roof rack
