Steve,
I had a lot of problems with negative camber on CF38690 and found that
the urethane control arm, shock link and spring pad bushings (from BPNW)
along with the mild comp. springs from TRF solved my "squat" problems. I
had much more neg. camber on one side than the other which was solved by
notching the brackets (done by a very competent frame & alignment shop).
Hope this helps,
