Benefits of Negative Camber on IFS Off-Road?

[BlackWorksInc]

So here's the thought, due to the nature of IFS it would seem aligning with some negative camber would be best. Even more so with wider/heavier tires. How much do you think would be best?

Thoughts, contradictions, ideas?

I'm not too sure what it would accomplish but a weighted or compressed ifs does have negative camber. For example: the highest point of uneven surface.

Seems contradictory to me. Wouldn't it make sense to maybe have a bit of positive camber to maintain more contact area under compression. Though that all depends on control arm lengths, suspension geometry, and the type of wheeling. I'm just talking out my ass, so hopefully some engineers chime in.

That's what I was thinking as well... since our IFS is Short Arm/Long Arm it means we'll have positive camber on downward stroke and negative on upward stroke. I've been setting my truck pretty much dead center 0° Camber wise, but I have been wondering if it would be better to go slightly negative for better grip on downward stroke and to tuck the wheel a bit under compression?
