alignment after lift

[Goosenheimer]

recently did bilstein 5100 lift at 1.5” on nonsas OBX. this is what the alignment shop aligned it at. i am concerned about tire wear. should they have used sasquatch alignment specs instead on non sas? looking at it straight on it almost looks like it has positive camber.

Your front camber is about the same as the rear (which is a straight axle and non adjustable) and I believe within spec. You’re seeing an optical illusion unless the equipment was off. Does it drive ok? Doesn’t “pull” to one side or the other? Here’s my chart with the parameters.
Not a fan of the cartoonish chart they used for you.

it drives great. straight no pulling. i am prob just paranoid. just don’t want any abnormal tire wear.

Also not unusual for the tire alignment to look funky immediately after getting it down off a lift or a jack. The suspension needs to travel a little bit (hundred feet or so, not miles) to settle back out.

Get a tread depth guage and check the depth across the tires, especially the front, every now and then. And be religious about rotating your tires. I’m bad about not doing that and have had some expensive front tires “cup” on me. It’s not uncommon for front tires to cup even if the alignment is correct. 4wd vehicles and big trucks are the worst.
