specific sas alignment noob question.

hey guys i searched and couldnt find specifically what i was looking for. my question is pretty simple. i have a 95 4runner sas'd with trail gears 4" kit. my question is when i set the alignment, i know it supposed to be at 1/8 in. in in the front, but do you factor in caster? more specifically do you measure level with the ground at say 6*caster, about what mine is, and measure that way, or do you measure at 0* caster and 6* degrees counter clockwise off the ground. it tried both and its about an eighth in different between the two. i figure the slight camber built into the axle affects the measurement between the two. both feel fine driving. my method of measurement is 2 37 inch long pieces of perfectly straight angle iron that i clamp to the rotor. and measure off the ends of those. thanks in advance and mods please move if its in the wrong spot.

I take a tape measure and get it 1/8" toe in at the front edge of tire.

You're thinking too hard
