I'm also thinking of moving/welding the shock nubs to a different position to fix some camber issues.
If the stock shocks are old, they are probably sagging and worn out, that will cause negative camber. If that's the case, a good set of aftermarket stock style shocks should be better. Then you can move the upper shock mount to tweak the height/camber.

Note: sometimes camber is affected by poorly set toe angle. Try setting the toe as close to zero as you can get. Use long straight edge on the side of the wheel to get a baseline, use chalk on the garage floor and map out the current settings.
