Ken, let's look at it this way. The upper A arm is shorter than the lower. At full lift, the upper tucks in towards the sub frame, causing negative camber.
Let's say , looking that the right front suspension, the A arm is at 8:30 position. A longer ball joint would put it at 9:00, and the spindle won't be tucked in as far.
If your situation is getting worse, it could be that the snubber under the upper arm is collapsing, and that's the best news I can give you.
