They work for street use, but I do not know how well they would work for off road.

I have a swing axle baja too. This would not be good for offroad becuase you won't have any down travel of the rear wheels and would be more likely to get a tire in the air and get stuck or have to back down an obstacle.

I want to fix my camber and was thinking about a trans drop.

Actually a taller tire would help... I'm new at this too, but you have to lower the rear some, which I don't know how to do... Since you are already running 33s, if you have the fender clearance maybe all you need to do is lower the rear.
