Not sure if I've got worn out suspension parts somewhere, or what. The wheels seem to have tilted more after I upped the tire size/rim width.. Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Not too sure here, but my guess would be to take it to a shop and have it aligned.

I know nuthin about camber, but there was a recent thread on the P'up site that might be helpful.

But if it were mine, I'd have to just take Jacobbarnes1's advice and take the truck to a professional. ;)

Mine look similar after adjusting ride height a bit. The alignment is easily tweaked by tire size or ride height changes. Wider rims mean the base contact point has likely been shifted outward causing your camber change.
Even when you get new tires of the same size youre supposed to get an alignment to keep everything just right.
Shouldnt be a big deal. 40-45 for a front end alignment near me.
