By then, it'll be time to ditch that rubber due to age.

Just make sure you get an alignment after the springs settle. The toe gets all out of whack with the drop, and not having this adjusted will burn tires up much more quickly than the negative camber ever will.

I might invest in SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts, but I will live with the front negative camber.
It is just a weekend warrior and goes in storage every winter. I only put about 3k a year. Maybe....
