On many vehicles, you can adjust the upper or lower control arm (pivot) front to rear via cam bolts, etc. Again, I've never aligned my Titan (let alone installed a lift kit) so I'm not sure whats there. On my GM there are cam bolts that let you move the front of the upper arm different from the rear of the upper control arm, in effect changing the ball joint center line. Kinda like the "old" RWD cars with shims. Same theory. Move the front of the arm outward & the rear of the arm inward (via shims or cam bolts) evenly increasing caster while not changing camber. Moving unevenly will cause camber to change also.
