Setup ride height first. Then set max caster (front cam all the way out, rear cam all the way in). Bring the rear cam out until you have about .5 degree negative camber (maybe a little less, but keep as much caster as you can and keep the camber negative). Set the toe to 1/16" to 1/8" IN. Test drive. If it pulls adjust the camber slightly and accordingly.
