The alignment machine already has the specs in it. Mostly the only thing they will bve able to get back into spec is your toe. If you have adjustable control arms they will be able to do your caster. Also have you already put on your adjustbale track bars and have them centered? If you dont have them centered or dont have them at all, when you do get some you wil have to get an alignment again because it will throw off your steering wheel.

Ya i know what you mean lol. I dont know if you have already but you could do a steering and suspension test real quick making sure to include a dry-park check. Seems like everyone forgets the dry-park check before you get the alignment. that way you can replace whatever is necessary so you know you wont need an alignment for a while

Normally you have to buy tires from a place to get an option like that.
To the OP my Iron rock offroad 3.5 inch lift called for Caster: +3.75 to +6.0 (+5.0 is preferred unless a different setting is required for proper front driveshaft running length)
Toe-in: 0 degrees

Firestone does lifetime alignment for something like 160 bucks. Most shops won't adjust your TB or after market arms. A 4x4 shop will.
