I just got done swapping in a new front axle into my jeep (89 xj) and went ahead and did the ball joints while i was at it and now my camber is obviously off. i was wondering how to adjust that? any help with this would be much appreciated.

:cheers:

You cannot adjust camber on a Dana 30, only caster. you can correct for a slightly bent axle tube or inner C with offset ball joints, but beyond that there isn't much you can do about it.

there is a bit of camber built into the axle housing, IIRC-- set your caster (by rotating the axle) and the camber will be correct. Set your toe after that and you shouldn't need offset ball joints unless things are bent.
