Again he just said it as a thought and it did get me thinking could he be right? Only down side to not going with a true rear setup would be lack of camber adjust ability so that might suck. lets hear some of your thoughts!

I have a divorced set up on my car, and to your dads point, I would rather play it safe than sorry. There hasn't been any definitive proof that a true set could lead to shock tower failure, and although the install was a tad more invasive comparatively, my thought process was to error on the side of caution. My two cents is I think it really comes down to personal preference and what you're comfortable with.
To your point about camber, you will need camber arms out back regardless of true type or divorced type.
