If you get your tires aligned like they were before your air ride install, then you will get positive camber when you raise it if you have it like that at full low. You need to have some negative camber when lowered, so you have usable camber at a proper driving height. I understand what you are thinking, but you are ignoring a few things about how suspension geometry works. If you want fitment like your pre-drop then you will have positive camber as you raise the car up with the air suspension.
