How screwed am I? Alignment numbers

[mrevilandy]

Just trying to get your opinions,
Background
3inch lift with 6100 coil overs up front dirt King uca's, 5100 rears w ome 985e 285/70/18 e rated. Truck drives great! But am a bit afraid of those red numbers looked visually couldn't tell if anything was bent etc did the wheel shake test nothing Firestone guys says nothing is wrong either.

I wouldn't worry about the numbers in red too much. Rarely will they be in spec after a lift. I would be more concerned why they didn't try to adjust the right side camber/caster to match the left side.

I was worried after doing some reading if the sai and angle is not in spec then could mean parts are/ will be damaged but couldn't see anything visually. I got two alignments at Firestone so far different places n both have told me the toe was off when they tried to match it. May have to go to an independent shop

The only problem is they did not really attempt to align your truck (lazy Fs). They just adjusted toe. Go back and get them to dial in your camber. Should be closer to 0. Also. drivers side caster should be a little lower than passenger (if different at all)

Yeah I think I'll keep going to different places until I find someone that will put more effort into it. I take it left side caster should be less for road crown?

Yea, but it is not required with a decent amount of + caster. I like mine even to avoid rubbing off-road. Even a slight reduction in caster can cause contact with my tires.

Go back and get what you paid for.. No reason to spend more money. It is not complicated. Uneven camber is 101 stuff. It's just being lazy.

Cool, puts my mind at ease. I bought the life time alignment so no worries there. I do however want to give a tip when someone does it right but I guess no one wants my money lol.

Side topic before I did this alignment I was getting 16.4 mpg normally now on my second tank of gas I'm getting around 18.5 what gives? Only thing that changed was I rotated my tires. Same gas/pump no real change in weather.

Would get my money back! That was a lazy alignment job. Hope you did not purchase the lifetime agreement.

I did but it wasn't at this particular one. There's a few more around my area need to build some rapport with a good mech lol

They didn't adjust the Camber and Caster because it's "in the Green" and they didn't want to deal with that trouble. Though honestly I would rather put the Caster and Cambe closer together and then adjust toe in my opinion. That camber bias is going to cause a slight pull. But otherwise it looks ok.
