Alignment Question

After installing the Revtek lift I noticed that the camber was off. The top of the tires were leaning out quite a bit. I had an alignment done but when I looked at the tires I questioned the mechanic as to why the camber still looks out. He showed me the specs that he had that were supposed to be proper figures and said that the vehicle fell within those specs.

Does anyone know what the proper specs are for the front end so I can cross reference the ones I got from the shop?

If you look closely at the pic you can compare the front wheel with the rear and see how far out it is.

I had that same problem for ever.

Take it to a front end specialist shop!! They did it for cheap and did it right.

I agree with the above remarks, BUT - when correctly aligned the the top of the tires will lean out a bit. (From your pic it looks like you have a lot, but it's impossible to tell from a picture.) Yota suspension setup always has positive camber, even on the old solid axles..
