Your terminology is confusing, "pigeon toed" makes me think you have a problem with the toe-in, where the tires are aimed inwards toward the center of the vehicle, but I think you are saying you have an issue with the camber and the tires are tilted outwards at the top/positive camber?
Did you have the front end aligned after installing the lift?
If not then you maybe able to get it corrected with an alignment, and yes it can be corrected with the correct aftermarket UCAs if they can't get it back into specs with the OEM UCAs.

Yea bad terminology on my part. Yes tires appear to be tilted outward. It has been aligned. I think the best they could do was 2.2 on the camber.

Yes you need the aftermarket UCAs to get it within specs, if I'm not mistaken it should be between neg 0.9 and positive 0.6., so you appear to be 1.6 to 2.3 degrees out of spec.

They may have also just done a "toe and go" which I've seen many lazy shops guilty of. This is when they adjust the toe only, so you don't get tire wear, and don't mess with camber/caster via the lower control arm adjusters. A print out of before/after can confirm this if you only see toe change and camber and caster stay they same. The other possibility is that your lower control arm adjusters are seized which is a common issue, and some alignment shops just won't say anything when they can't move them when they really should tell you "hey I can't align this because it's seized" the cure is to cut the bolts out and install new hardware. OEM is the best. Moog sucks.
