I installed the Mopar lift and took it to a local shop for alignment. The specs they use are different than the Mopar specs, the biggest being they use positive toe vs the Mopar spec for negative toe. Unless the lift radically changed the toe it was very positive before the alignment though

. They claim to do dozens of these lifts and this is the "hot' setup. Does anyone understanding vehicle geometry better than me have any thoughts or comments.

That Mopar diagram is showing a range, using a dash between the acceptable parameters. It is not a “negative” symbol. Yours was positive before, but a little too much. They dialed it back into spec.

I do find it weird how their spec sheet shows the first two as +/- , but the others only show a "-" between them... Strange. Maybe a typo... They could be meaning 0.0Âş to 0.12Âş toe-in, but I'm not sure...

Yeah, 0.0 to 0.12. It’s an acceptable range.

The picture is showing negative tow, wheels pointing in. The wheels would be pointing out for positive tow unless I'm not understanding.

I wouldn't go by the pictures... I'd go by the numbers.

The front of the tires “pointing in” is positive toe-in.

It would have been interesting to see the specs prior to the lift. Mine was wandering all over the place, installing the Fox steering stab took a lot of it out but I'm concerned about doing the Mopar lift.

The toe-in would have been the same. It’s not affected by the lift.
