Bill, you have to go further down the table. You want to go down the
table from your current bracket combination until you've changed the
relative camber angle 4.5 degrees from that listed for your current bracket
combination - which is listed at 3.80. With your current combination of 1U
3U, you want to go down the list of combinations until you hit the relative
camber angle in the table of 3.80 + 4.50 = 8.30. To get this, you could
either use the 1U 2U combination which brings you to 8.21 or 1D 3D which
will take you to 8.33. Unfortunately, there isn't a combination of
brackets that will allow you to leave the your current inner 3U bracket
alone, and therefore leave your ride height alone, while achieving the
desired new camber.
Hope this helps.
