Someone tell me if this is logical thinking...
So, on the passenger side of my truck, the front fenderlip is lower than the drivers side. Also, when my two 250lb buddies get in the passenger side, the fender drops down about another 1"-1½". But when the fender drops drastically like that, the tire's camber doesn't change. If it was the SPRING that was compressing, wouldn't the camber on the tire change aswell? Therefore my thinking is that is must be the cab/body mounts that are squishing, allowing the cab/body on that side to drop.

SLA suspesions (Short/Long Arm suspensions) by design minimize camber changes for the "normal" suspension cycle. 1" is not going to cause a major camber change. The reason you get negative camber on a bagged or spring dropped truck is because you have moved the control arms UP the amount of the drop and now you are in the area where the camber changes start occuring. Typically stock suspenions are designed to have around 4-5" of compression/rebound and when you move the suspension components up in their arc you are moving out of the engineered area of the least camber changes. The same would happen if you raised the truck except you would have positive camber.

AND BTW, it is your spring that is compressing, the whole cab would have to flex if just ONE cab mount was bad.
