iirc raising ride height on our cars (front or rear) will tend to stand the wheel up straighter (closer to 0 camber). The opposite of this is why people who lower there Z have to get camber arms, etc. in order to return to a reasonable alignment.

The other thing to remember is that when camber changes so does toe (this is all because of the suspension geometry).

It is very possible that your ride height changes might not be enough to cause problems but I'm not sure.
