Maybe just an alignment will help eliminate the tire wear.

With that little of a drop, you won't need a camber kit. I'm running almost 3 degrees of neg camber without one. What you will need is an alignment where they set the toe to zero. Toe wears tires, not camber. Actually with that little of a drop you probably won't even need an alignment, but it's always best to be safe.

You can go for a few days, but make sure you get one as soon as possible.

Toe changes as the suspension moves up and down, so an alignment is a must no matter how much the drop.

If the stock shocks went out, would it still be drivable? would it cause any other damages to the ride?
