Caster adjustment

Good afternoon, after installing a 3” suspension lift, 1” body lift, and the pinch weld mod, I still have some rubbing where my tire hits my limited flares. Is it possible to have an alignment shop adjust my caster forward to clear the flares? I only need roughly an inch.

When it comes to alignment moving your caster by an inch is really extreme. it's all about angles and if you mess with any of them you either start wearing tires (camber and toe) or your vehicle will stop returning to straight ahead when you let go of the steering wheel (caster). worse yet, if you go past zero on your caster (change from positive caster to negative) when you let go of the wheel it will turn on its own and cause an accident.
Any alignment shop that would agree to making this adjustment for you is one to avoid at all costs.
