Rubbing/Negative Camber?

I have a 99 2wd with 2" lift in front and 1" lift in the back. I plan on throwing on 285/75/16s with 16*8 & 4.52" backspacing rims. After installing the 2" coil springs up front I noticed I'm running a notcieable amount of negative camber. Is this normal? Also, if it is and I can fit the tires, will I have to worry about rubbing if I'm doing a little off roading?
Thanks

Fitment should be fine. You may need adjustable camber bolts to get your alignment within specs. I assume you had someone attempt to align your truck, right?

Well I found out what happened. I got the kit installed by a tire shop that also does suspension, and after I had the kit installed they told me to come back to get it aligned. Rough Country recommend 50 miles before an alignment, so I did those miles and brought the truck back to be aligned a few days later. I talked to the same guy that installed the springs and he told me to leave the truck at the shop and come back in a few hours. I did so, PAID for the supposed alignment, and left. Well I went to talk to the guys a few days ago because of this camber issue, they checked out the truck, and asked the same question you did Wandell, had I gotten it aligned. Turns out it never got done. They're giving me the alignment for free b/c i had the receipt in the truck, and they also are going to give me 25% off on new Bilstein HD shocks I'm installing this week. Should be fixed by then.
