If they are that bad there probably on the wrong sides. The trailing arms, if built correctly, should have camber built into them. I know a few guys that swapped their stock arms after putting on the beef up kit and they looked like that. It gave them a little more ground clearance but they looked like a swing axle.

yeah if you change sides they will make your tire lean out and run on the out side edge you probly have done this and just need switch sides with them.you want as much tread on the ground as possible,you may lose a inch or two ground clearance if that much but it will be well worth the added traction you will gain.and i would say it wont be as hard on your wheel bearings either.chad :mrgreen:

Yea, like Brad said, I'd swap the arms side to side to see if it fixes them. The more your wheels lean in like that, the less surface of your tire is touching the ground biting. Exactly what ya don't want. If it doesn't fis it swaping sides, I'd probaby get some different arms.
