It makes sense to have them in opposite positions, or else they wouldn't be changing the camber angle much, if at all.

 

To compensate for a lift with struts, you'd need the bottom bolt pushing the wheel outboard, and the top bolt pulling inboard.

Thanks guys. That's how I did it, but I ran out of time at the garage on base. I had to get to school, so I haven't tightened everything down. Anyway, here's the story-

I arrived at 1020am last saturday (garage opens at 10am) to put my camber bolts in. I was too late to get a bay immediately as they were all full. I waited a little over an hour and nobody on the list had moved. So, I called up the DIY garage on the airforce side and they had two available bays (SHOOT!!! Why didn't I think of this before?!) So I immediately drove the 15 minutes over there. After finally getting my truck on the stand and wheels off it was 15minutes after 12. I then started putting the camber bolts in, but couldn't seem to get much of change in angle. One of the employees of the garage was watching me and said I was doing it backwards... My mind frame was that of being rushed because I had about a 30+ minute drive ahead of me, and school starts at 1pm! Anyway I tightened everything thing down enough to not fall apart until I could get in there and play around with it again. I have the bolts driven opposite of each other now, but what that guy was saying kind of makes sense. He was saying if the bolts are going opposite of each other they are working against each other therefore they'll only get 2 degrees change...

 

Anyway, Thanks for the heads up!
