i don't think they moved the mount up, they did the because it gave them more room to build in the upper bag mount (if i remember right). i think you are going to have to do something to the lengths of the a-arms to reduce the amount of camber. there are other way to but i think this is the one used the most but i'm probable wrong. good luck

if you have no neg camber when laid out, there will be pos camber when lifted.

camber is there for a reason. excessive camber sucks, but you do need some camber gain for you to make turns effectively.

on the weekend warrior they did move the upper mount up. the same amount the moved the lower control arm mount up. the whole reason behind that was to section the front xmember so there would be no z needed to lay full rail.

You can absolutely build a system that has zero camber change, but it isn't right. Mike A. truck that Chassis by Iha build originally had zero camber gain, but was changed to have a small amount of camber.

Tom, your best bet would be to run a dropped spindle and keep camber to a minimum.

The truck in the MT article had the lower arm mounts and crossmember raised to allow the truck to lay without a Z.
The upper mounts were raised to help maintain the stock geometry once the lowers were raised up. byaa

i built mine to have no camber when laid out. you have to build equal length control arms and have them spaced apart equally. you need to have equal length arms and have the space from the upper a-arm mount to the lower control arm mount the same as the distance from the upper balljoint to the lower balljoint. from ride height to laid out i had no camber change. but when i jack my truck up and let the wheels droop it kinda does camber a bit. the top of the tire toes out. but the airbags never aired it up that high anyway. think of it like this, if you are standing in front of your truck, looking at your front suspension, you need to be able to draw a box from all 4 mounts of the front suspension. a straight line from the upper a-arm mount to the balljoint, a straight line from the upper balljoint to the lower balljoint, from the lower balljoint to the lower c-arm mount, and from the lower c-arm to the upper a-arm mount. it'd be an imaginary box, everything connected. now you gotta make every one of those lines the exact lenght. the distances need to be the same from all the mounting points, everything has to be perfectly symmetrical and then you'll have no camber. hope you understand my rambling...
