Paul, although an increase in ride height of 3/8" will reduce the negative camber somewhat, it's impossible for this distance to reduce it from 2.3° negative down to zero. However, it might have reduced it sufficiently to get down below 1.5°.........which is probably acceptable.

I'll be curious to see the actual rear camber with the increase in ride height of 3/8".

BTW, you can check your own rear camber with a 24" level with reasonable accuracy (1/2° or so).
