I ran 3 1/2 degrees on my last sierra, absolutely normal tyre wear, and I did a lot of heavy towing which further pushed the rear down giving more camber.
The shims to which I refer can be got from Mike Rainbird off here, he has a website

They are very simple to intall come with instructions will take less than an hour, but here it is, basically they where the rear hub is held to the arm with it's four bolts these are loosened(not taken out) and the shim is put at the rearmost edge of the hub so that the upper and lower rearmost bolt pass through the cutout in the shim and sandwich it between the hub and backplate, this gives a slight tilt on the hub inwards at the front so taking off some toe.

did fit those, and it wasn't a straight fit I had to cut them in 2 pieces because the holes didn't line up. After that a lot of fiddeling mount them properly But, the toe is fine now
