Rear tire, inside edge wear, tire split

Loaded up for a long trip which I am still on. One rear tire split apart so I replaced both rears. Rotated fronts back, new tires up front. Well the inside edges are going again. Way worse the just cupping. I hope the hold up until I get home. Can the rear alignment just go out of whack or did something wear out…shocks, bushing, etc?
What would happen if the car was moded with shims to have zero rear camber when unloaded? When you load the car would the camber theoretically stay at zero when loaded? I think this would solve both the cupping issue and prevent this type of problem from reoccurring.
How about upgrading to load leveling shocks? The car seems to be squatting a lot. Nothing heavy in there...just some light luggage. I have a hunch that the full size spare is somehow contributing to this problem. I noticed the car squat a little when I put the full size in…something about the location of the weight. Are the load leveling shocks just heavy duty or do they have some sort of compressed air system. Anyone put these on an Aero. Maybe they should be standard on all the wagons.
I will monitor replies as best as possible with limited internet access.
