I have a Jt Rubicon, with mopar lift, and 1” spacer. I also added metalcloak front and rear adjustable trackbars, and front upper control arms. It was aligned today. Shop wanted to stay at factory 4.80 castor, told them I would like it closer to six. Could you give me your opinion on the results.

It seems ok, need to try it on interstate closer to town. The roads are crap there. Before I added the track bars,and control arms, I would notice bump steer there. After adding those parts I thought it should get another alignment.

It drives ok. I’m just not sure about the alignment sheet, and the toe. It reads total toe -0.05, that is toe in , right?

Looks good to me! You were even lucky enough to get a little caster lead to the left. The -.05° toe looks to be the before reading....If you look at the after reading and do the math, it comes out to +0.11°.

-05 is total toe.
after is
Left -0.04
Right -0.01
Yep, I see that now. Why did they send it out with toe out?

Wonder how much error is in that machine too? I did it old skool with bubbles and tape measures, so no error unless someone came in hung over.

Toe out only used with front wheel drive or full-time 4 wheel drive.
I can't see these ever being toe out.

I showed them the mopar lift specs. They may have mid read toe In. (0.0 - 0.12). The sheet looks like 0.0 -0.12)
