    Those #s are pretty good. Ideally you want .05 toe ea. side. 0* camber and as much caster as you can get, within reason. To compensate for road crown I like roughly .5 more caster right side.
    Your caster being around 4 is great IMO. I like 4* left and 4.5 right.

    So 0 camber, 3 caster, and how much toe in?
    I'm thinking about giving them numbers before they do it so I ain't gotta wait for them to redo it

    To compensate for the center of the road being higher than the sides of the road. If it doesn't pull, it's not an issue.

    I did a backyard alignment when I put the lift on. It drives strait now but my steering wheel is off. And I'm not sure about camber.

    Sad thing is, It doesn't pull after i did an alignment with a tape measure. So I'm hoping that it wont pull after alignment and they will straiten my steering wheel.

    Here’s my numbers, just had it done yesterday. Can’t tell you if they’re good or not though. Had a 3/1 readylift with 35x11.5r20s installed.

    I only have about 30 min of driving since but it felt good. Is the low caster what they do to help minimize big tires rubbing? I know the can do something with the castor right ?

    I would imagine your steering wheel doesn't find center by itself very well 'cause the caster is so low.

    Depends where it's rubbing. Generally they increase caster in the LCA which pushes the bottom of the wheel forward. This gets (helps) you off the cab mount.

    It isn’t rubbing and I spent like 15 min trying to make them rub so seems good so far but the tire gets like within a centimeter of the cab mount.

    Drove it for about a hour today. You’re right though. Ride feels good and all but my wheel only goes about 95% to center after a turn and then I need to slightly help it. Think it’s something worth bringing it back in for ? Will adjusting possibly cause it to rub the cab mount that I’m really close to already ?

    No, more caster will get you farther away from the cab mount. More caster also makes it want to track straighter so it's a bit easier on long drives.

    Is there any reason why they would have set the castor the way they did then? I’m confused to their reasoning for setting it that way then even gave me a printout of how they set it wrong ?

    I don't know what the deal is with alignment shops these days, close seems to be good enough. I don't think alignment techs, as a general rule, are the most skilled guys out there, at least in my recent experiences with 3 different shops. Clearly you're out of spec, hence the red. Why is beyond me. I don't know what alterations you've made to your front suspension either.
    Honestly, I think it's just a lack of skill/patience on the part of the tech. If you ever watch 'em do it the machine is VERY touchy. Every time they touch one thing it effects something else so it's a lot of fussing to produce exact #s. Camber gets set first which changes when they set the caster so they've gotta go back and re-set the camber which changes the caster. So, it's back and forth incrementally 'til you get where you wanna be. Very few have the patience or punctiliousness.
