Default looking for help

Hi I own a 1980 ford f-250 and have been trying to go from 8 lug to 5 lug suspension. I changed out the lower I beams with an 80 f-150 and now my rims and tires are leaning weird \ / like that. I kept the 250 springs to keep ride height, but I cant drive it like this. Question are the Ibeams different lengths? whats with this ford? thanks for any and all help Stephen in Georgia

i dont know how bad your tires are leaning but that suspension uses offset bushing to set the camber and the bushings can be turned to get rid of that lean they can be a real pain to get loose and sometimes you even need different bushings with more of a offset. i ran into this trouble when lifting a few trucks.hope this helps
