i was talking to a friends with a car that has camber with just a drop and hes getting a camber kit to fix this...
now on the contrary id like to reverse this...i know you can get camber kits to negitave camber...so my question is...if i put a camber kit on my frontier and set it to 0% camber at max bag height which is 200 psi...would my truck camber more when layed out???

What kind of camber kit is it??? is it a offset ball joint? Im not sure about the frontys but most of the time your alignment kits only allow for so much adjustment... in our case with the massive amount of travel these kits will help but not do that much... I know on a hardbody the only thing I can think of for a camber kit would be an offset balljoint...

ive never seen a camber kit for a frontier.
you can however get longer upper control arm bolts and shim to your hearts desire.

The frontier is different than the hardbody in that it uses eccentric bolts. I believe you can order eccentric bolts through the dealer which will allow you to adjust for more or less camber than you can with stock parts.

BUT - I would personally recommend that you get your front end aligned properly at ride height, with correct caster, toe, and camber. I don't believe you will listen to me, but that is what I recommend.

The camber bolts that are in the upper arms of 1st gen frontiers from factory are it. They all come will the eccentric bolts installed except the 2nd gens. There is no other hardware from the dealer to get more adjustments. I haven't seen offset balljoints for frontiers. Sounds like you need to do some customizing. But get it aligned at ride height not aired all the way up. And when they do the alignment tell them to match caster from side to side, put camber as close to zero as possible and match from side to side, then set wheel straight and adjust toe to factory specs. This is a minitruck factory alignment is usually not gonna happen at ride height. You just need to worry about how the vehicle tracks and tire wear. Camber and Toe are the only things that will wear your tires. Be sure to run the same ride height psi in front to keep the alignment good when driving
