Alignment numbers good enough?
I have a 2.5 lift on my 4Runner, but was never 100% satisfied with the freeway sway with stock UCA's. This past weekend I put on JBA High Caster UCA's to fix this issue and hopefully get a better alignment. I see many people with all numbers in the specified range after getting their caster corrected.

After my alignment today, I believe its close, but do you guys think it could be better if I brought it somewhere else or is it good enough?

Ill post my print out below

If you like how it drives now I'd say its good

The reason caster is in the red is because it is higher than the spec. With super high caster, the wheel will camber a lot in turning. Depending on your application, this could either be a non issue or cause extra outer tire wear

Before the UCA's I noticed one wheel had some outer tire wear pretty quick after being installed. Hopefully high caster uca's isnt going to make it worse. I forgot what my previous alignment numbers were. Either way, it drives better now.

That could probably be just from poor camber alignment on the first one. You'd probably only see extra outer wear due to high caster from a lot of hard cornering
