Default 4/6 drop too much positive camber solution help

So I've had the truck a little over a year now. It came with what previous owner says is a 4/6 drop. It has aftermarket control arms and springs but with stock spindles. In my search for trying to find what brand the kit is I couldn't find one that uses both springs and arms for the drop. I'm guessing he pieced kits together. I took it to get aligned shortly after buying it and they said camber is maxed out, but its visibly positive and eating up tires still. Anyone got some suggestions on a easy fix to get more neg camber?

Those look like DJM arms (or a knockoff there-of). I would presume the upper arm is longer than stock and/or the lower arm is shorter than stock. At current drop level, the upper arms are not really needed according to the ball joint angles in the pics. I would try going back to a stock uca and if that doesn't solve the issue, install some offset bushings to pull the arm in some more.

Ive used the belltech offset UCA bushings and cams a few times and it gives you about 4-5 degrees more adjustment if you are close
