+1, that's the only way that you'll get excessive negative camber in the rear. You need to get the truck up on an alignment rack and see what the numbers tell ya...

At least now you know the real reason it had new tires on it when you bought it.

Get it checked out.

I remember reading a magazine article about how to bend your axle housing like that on purpose. It was for guys that road raced cars with solid rear axles. I guess there is enough slop in the axle splines that you can get a degree or two camber in the wheels.
