More positive I am guessing. -2 is a lot for the light rear end and may be reducing traction. If you are not beating up the outside shoulder/sidewall, try flattening it. A non-driven wheel on a loose surface needs as much contact patch as possible since I assume it is not rolling over.

Try -1, or bring it down 1/2 a degree at a time until it gets worse and go back. You may find 0 to -1/2 may be best. Again, I am not a dirt driver, so this is all theory. YMMV NWEOI
