Max is right as usual, most minitruckers (and fullsize truckers too) count on negative camber to help wheels tuck, but the truth is as max said, this is one extreme end of the designed operation. going back negative at full lift to clear big wheels turning is the other end. The limitation is that the factory stuff was engineered to run much higher than full drop, and much lower than full lift.
I maintain that there isnt a frame laying truck built that is using existing front suspension which wouldnt benefit from a frame z, speaking from ride quality, bump steer, and tire wear perspectives only. Of course, that would exacerbate the negative camber at full lift, and decrease negative camber at full drop.
There is another thread on narrowing front suspension track width, I think the combination of narrowing the front frame with a healthy z will be the two future mods. No lifting all the way to turn, and no need for negative camber at drop. You would cruise AND turn with the front a scant few inches off the ground. No more stargazing, which I think would be the greatest benefit.
