The natural camber of the truck makes you ride on the very inside of the wheel and tire so you are literally riding on the stiff inner sidewall of the tire and not much anything else. You can find a way to remove all the camber from the suspension and it will not handle for anything, or put a tire on with proper sidewall.

Lets talk about this.
As I agree that a thinner side wall on a tire will transfer jolts to the driver better then a tire with a tall side wall. I think we can all agree on that. Then to add that the very common excessive camber caused by the rear upper control arm's bushing wareing out can causing the wheels to ride on the stiffest part of the tire, amplifys this bumpy condition. (we are still on the same page)
But you had mentioned that if all of the Camber was taken away completely, it wouldnt handle for chit. This confuses me. From what I know, (and I will add my 4 wheel chassis set up has only been for dirt surface race cars/4 wheelers) I disagree.
I am not picking a fight here, I just wanna pick your mind and learn a little. I'm not saying I'm right your wrong, just my experiance didnt show that a wheel sitting square on the ground will cause undesirable handeling trates.
Your thoughts......
