I would think they could do better than what you have. Here's a quick and dirty guide on how to read the printout: https://www.thoughtco.com/wheel-alignment-defined-281574

My opinion is the camber is too high which means your wheel is leaning outward and could cause the tires to wear on the outside. Typically, anything +\- .5 will can cause excessive tire wear but there's some exceptions to that.

On these IFS Toyotas that are lifted, they seem to like caster angles closer to 4°. This is usually regarded as a non-tire wearing angle however, if the caster difference is too high it can cause a pull which will wear the tires.

Sorry, Stepping out the door now, I'll add to this if I have time.

So today I went ahead and got alignment at another show who specializes in lowered and lifted cars/trucks. Everything is back into spec and good to. Thanks for the help!
