Alignment results help

[jeeper03]

This past weekend I replaced my old JBA coilovers with the new version and changed the rear springs as well. I dropped the jeep off at a well known 4x4 shop in town that I always go to for my alignments on all my jeeps. However this time I am a little worried about the results.
Here is my set up.
FRONT
JBA coilovers
JBA upper control arms and balljoints
extended sway bar links
extended brake lines
all new balljoints, tierods, etc...
Both sides are adjusted to 23 inches
REAR
JBA bolt on trilink
JBA 6 inch springs
both sides sitting at 23.5 inches
Bilstein shocks
TIRES AND WHEELS
moab wheels
265/75/16 duratracs
OTHER MODS
Rock lizard front and rear bumpers
rock lizard roof rack
kilby and 4xguard skids
warn winch


Are these alignment specs correct or way off? I see a lot of red on the paper which makes me nervous. Previously I was at 3.5" and the alignment came out perfectly to factory specs this is the first time I've been to 4 inches.
Thanks in advance

They should be able to get camber in but caster will be out but okay as long as you have at least 2.5 degrees or around there with no more then 0.5 degree cross caster.

I thought the results were weird. Anything special I should tell them when I bring it back in?

Both camber and toe should be in spec or close. Have them set that up and let caster be where it will be.

TJKJ's advice was what i used with my alignment guy.

set -0.4 camber and as much caster to <0.5 deg cross caster.

toe normal.

Steering was extremely responsive but i liked it. Tires wore a little on the inside compared to out but nothing outrageous. 1/32" diff.

was also lower than you so your mileage may vary.

OKAy so just trying to make sure I tell them correctly. They need to adjust it for correct toe and camber but let caster fall where it will as long as there is no more then 0.5 crosscaster?

Can we say "pigeon toed"?

Well I took it back to the alignment shop and they told me it can’t be done and it’s impossible. When I told them others have done it they just said they would like to see that and see where the bolts are in the slots. I’m thinking of just going back to 3.5”

Are you having a driveability or tire wear issue? Or just fixated on what the numbers are supposed to be?

I'm only at ~3" lift. I halfway expected the alignment shop to critique some of the unusual suspension work I'd done (flipped balljoint, extra washers & spacers in places). They didn't bat an eye.... made some minor adjustment and said it was good to go. No real change other than they made it track dead straight when you let go of the wheel. No funky tire wear before or after.

Sadly, I lost the alignment sheet. :Violin:

Took it to a different alignment shop yesterday and the alignment is now perfect. It is exactly where everyone said it should be and drives great now. Guess I won’t be going back to the first shop for my next alignment.
