Independent suspension vehicles will definitely exhibit camber change with a change in chassis height and vehicle loading. I believe one of the worst examples of this is Ford's twin-I beam suspension. On a vehicle which does not carry a consistent load there is often no setting that provides good tire wear.

DrKrankenstein, was your axle shipped with spindles? Have you checked the kingpin angle against mfgr specs? If the kingpin angle is correct but the camber is not, you may need a new spindle.
Yes axle was received with mounted spindles in place for me ready to install. No modifications necessary, supposedly.
