Those alignment bushings are only on ball joint applications. The only way to add camber in a kingpin axle is to bend it. But the problem with that is once you bend it, it weakens the housing.............
Most lift springs have a wedge bolted to it via the center pin and this will change the caster. Ryan is spot on on the 6*. I used to set big lifted trucks to 8 or 10* depending the terrain the truck would be driving on or how it drove. And on wider tires, 1/8" toe in helps.

If i recall the dodge leaf springs sat higher in the front than the rear . the 56 springs are almost flat and mounted to a straight frame to boot . I bet when I bolted the D60 up I lost all my Caster . Thus shopping cart feeling .
