I'm thinking of just maybe a 3'' diff drop, and going for the uptravel.  with 1.5'' coil spacers and 2'' strut spacers, i'm not even hitting the bump stops for the control arms at full flex.  that leaves roughly twice the travel of what it has stock if you make a strut that can allow it.  Do you think that this is going to cause a considerable camber change?

The two inch strut spacers should allow the A-arm to just hit the bump stops. If its not coming up that far then I suspect its because there isn't enough weight on it to fully compress the spring, or the spring spacers are causing the spring to bind before the bump stop is reached. Try pulling a spring off and jacking up the suspension to see how far it will come up. It could be that you won't get any more uptravel by changing the front strut set up.
