Rear Camber

I have 19x10.5 rear wheels. My rear camber is -1.9. Is this ok? Can I get away with not getting a camber kit? Or do I really need one.

Your thoughts?

Is that after an alignment where they adjusted all the way in? You can drive like that, but you're definitely going to be buying tires sooner.

Do a cost benefit analysis of the price of your tires with (at least) 30% less wear requiring earlier replacement vs. the cost of an installed camber kit and another alignment.
