MMMMmmmmm.... either:
1) You are on crack
2) I am so ignorant I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about
3) You have airbag-suspension
Either way the question looks funny the way you phrased it haha.gif

you will only be able to set true camber at one postion i would try to get it set where you normal drive at....or if you are deflated when you drive alot get it aligned there......

ok i dont remember what there called but i think its like a accumulator
if you put one of those in it will hold the pressure in the bags
look for it you connect it after the air tanks

If you can't relate camber to an airbag suspension it must be number two.

Not sure why your air pressure would be changing between drives? Couple of questions for ya. Do you have air-guages to show air pressure at each corner? Do you have any leaks in the system? I've had my air-ride setup on my car for almost four years now and have very little wear on the tires. The best thing to do if you need to adjust your camber or alignment is to take it to the shop drive up on the rack then adjust to your ride height and have it aligned to that point. That is what I did when I had my fullsize on air and I was going to do that with my tib but the dealer didn't have the tools to align 18 wheels. So I have never had my tib aligned at all.
