    RE: no camber change

    this is not optimal. ideally you want 6-8* at full droop/compression. this helps with turning.

    the truck is actually a 67 chevy with a 95 cab and matching protruck glass. The rear link is pulling around 28 inches.

    I think what Total was saying is that there should be some camber change. As much as possible you want the tire's contact patch to be flat on the ground regardless of chassis roll. The harder the surface, the more important this will be.
