did Alignment shop do me right?

[brevard2012]

I leveled my 4runner, 1 inch front lift, and took it to shop, they didn't change a thing, and left some spes just outside the limits. The tires are new and hence no wear. The previous tires had even wear.

my past experience was with my 2014, after years of driving and normal tire wear, i leveled it, i think it was 1 1/2 front lilft, drove it several thousand miles to find feathering and outside tire wear, too it to sears, alignment was in spec, but they changed toe slightly, I rotated tires only to find the wear pattern repeated, this time i took it to shop with a good reputation, the one i just used. They changed camber and toe and tires wore great for years, alignment was in spec before and after they did adjustment. SUV was totaled in accident, so now i have 2017.

So this time i took it in as soon as i leveled it, only to be disappointed they didn't change camber, they claim leveling just effects toe, but didn't even adj that. . I was more upset about camber not being changed than i was the fact they left some specs red.

Will my tires wear fine with current alignment? is Camber normal to correct after leveling?
why would they leave Caster and SAI out of spec?

Did shop treat me right, what do you think?

Not sure if they can get any more caster out of OEM without aftermarket UCA. I know when I did a 2" lift, max they could get was like 2.3 caster at the dealer. It was in the red but still drove fine for me until I got UCA 2 years later.

Lifting changes all specs, but as was said, probably couldn't get any more caster.

1" lift is not that much so not surprised that the angles didn't change.

Toe and camber are the most important angles for tire wear and handling. Those are all green.

Caster is not that important; it mainly affects "return to center".

I have the Rough Country leveling kit, advertised front lift 2.5" but I ended up with about 3". Dealer got all alignment in spec except for caster and I have not noticed any problems with that, either handling or tire wear. No UCA.

They should have been able to pull back within specs............NO RED!

I figured I'd jump into this thread since I have a similar issue, rather than start a new thread...

Last spring I had Bilstein 6112s installed, set at 6/4, so about 2" of lift. I went with a 1.5" rear spring. The shop that did the install said they were able to get the alignment in spec. Last fall, when I went in for an oil change and tire rotation, the tech said the alignment was off a little bit and my tires were beginning to feather at the edges. He said they got it as close as they could but a couple adjusters on the lower control arms were seized and if I continued to have wear problems that I would need to replace the lower control arms. So now, I am still having tire wear issues. The truck drives good and only pulls a little depending on the camber of the road.

Here's my question:

Will OEM lower control arms be good enough to get the proper alignment with a 2" front lift?
