The geometry changed with each generation and model series, you make it tough to answer such an open ended question....

negative camber means the top of the tire is tilted in too far toward the center of the truck. This is the result of lowering. The fix is to move the upper A frame outward , away from the motor. Normally the A- frame is attached with two bolts thru slots in the truck frame. You loosen both bolts and tap or pull the A-frame out the same amount on both bolts. Normally you can scribe the frame or mark with a pencil, then tap both sides outward 1/8 inch and tighten both bolts. Set the truck back on the ground, and check the camber again. repeat as necessary. You need to do both bolts about the same amount to change the camber without effecting the caster ( front - back tilt)
