In an attempt not to change anything what would it hurt to have +3* at full droop?It wont be jumped big if or anything like that.I see why it would be hard on things to land to the side on one wheel with+ anything but other than that what would it hurt.
It looks like bump steer will be fine.

Think about what happens to the tire as the suspension compresses after full droop and the camber changes. Hint:it has to do with the tire contact patch with the ground.

Ive read about every post about a-arm camber curve on rdc and most people say no +,but also say you dont want to be on the side wall.If it has no + or has - at droop then it will be on the side wall in a turn.
If you make a hard left turn the outside will be - and the inside will be + to keep the tire flat on the ground.If the same turn the inside is in - then it will be on the side wall.

As said earlier,if you have that much body roll it needs controlled either with shock tuning, spring selection,sway bar addition or a combination of those. Only vehicles that should be that sloppy are rock crawlers. Believe what you have read elsewhere and we have said here. Some things are pretty much written in stone due to many,many,many trying to prove there was a better way when there was none.

When I first started to look at long travel suspension design I had the same thoughts you have now. Trust me/us/others ,forget what you are thinking. Eventually I had to just realize that this is a subject that has been investigated since racing was begun and many people much smarter than I was right. LOL!! Damn It!!!
