Toe kills tires, not just camber. I daily on about -2.5 all around (no LCA's, and no room up front for more camber without camber plates) and I don't have bad wear at all. I have zero front toe and 1/16" rear toe in which definitely helps.

At a 1" drop you'll probably be around -2.2 to -2.5 in the rear. I'd want LCA's to bring that back closer to -1.5 unless you're going to be running -3 or more up front.
