your dad is absolutley right ...

... don't bother with a camber kit, just get an alignment and have them set the toe at 0 degrees for all four corners

change in ride height changes camber.

change in camber changes toe.

change in toe affects tire wear.

solve the problem by fixing toe, get an alignment.

That isn't a very low drop to need camber adjustment, if you want to feel safe put a few washers in the back.
