Unless you have lowering springs with a significant drop, your camber will not require a kit.

well.. i think it depends on your alignment. If your toe is off, it'll wear down your tires even more than just the camber being off. I've had mine dropped 1.5 inches or so... the camber is noticeably off, but my alignment is perfect otherwise. I haven't seen any unusual wear. Although, i definitely have more wear on the inside of the tire.

getting an alignement right after the drop is VERY important. after that, depending on the drop, you can go without a kit as long as you routinely rotate your tires.

with that drop, i would invest in a kit.

As long as your alignment is proper and you rotate the tires on a regular basis, you should be fine.
