Drop in back corrects camber?

I had negative camber on the front end my '70 C10, when I dropped it 3 more inches in the rear it seems to have corrected the negative camber. Is this possible? I'm gonna drop it a couple of more inches in the front so I'm sure that I'll end up with negative camber again, but I thought this was strange.
Thanx
Dano

Negative camber or caster? Caster will change more positive when the rear is dropped or front raised. Camber should not have changed. If so, how far negative was it? Noting of course when you raise or lower the front, you change the goemetry if done with springs, due to camber swing through wheel travel. The rear height change should only change caster. Paul

Most likely when you lowered the rear you changed the weight distribution enough to affect the front suspension.
