Mojave post lift alignment help.

[STROOLKA]

Hey all!
Finally got my 2” AEV lift installed and went to get a free alignment check down at Big O.

I had heard a lot of conflicting info on whether or not an alignment was needed post lift due to the solid axle. Really the only change that should be able to take place with a lift is caster.
Well I’m a casual and am having a hard time understanding the alignment sheet

now first off, I’m confused, if there were no adjustments made, why are there before and after numbers? And if their machine has to spit out both numbers, why are they different?

why is .02° toe bad, from my brief inexperienced internet reading neither toe number should be red on the JT. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

Should I be concerned that my passenger side seems to have more camber than the driver.

Really I’m just looking for some reassurance/ validation/ advice here.
I know I can adjust toe on my own.

Toe in the Jeep world is usually expressed in inches (or fractions of an inch). That can vary, depending on diameter of the tire. But that is what Jeep people usually use. For a 33" tire total toe should be around 0.4 degrees, or 0.2 degrees for each wheel / tire (or anything that adds up to 0.4 degrees, depending on how straight the steering wheel was when they measured). That would be for around 1/4" of toe in. It would be half that if you wanted 1/8" of toe in. It is in the red because you don't have enough toe in.
As to the different sets of numbers, I would put that done to variations in what the guy performing the alignment is doing. You do get what you pay for sometimes.
The difference in camber between the two sides could be due to differences in tire between the two sides. For example, if one side has more air pressure in the tire than the other side does, that would create an imbalance between the two readings. That said, it is also possible that one side is bent.
I would correct your toe and see how it drives. Is the steering wheel centered?

Do you have adjustable track bars? Front & Rear?

Yes, and I’ve centered the axles with them
