All, Just had my truck aligned after a long restoration process. Below are the results…. I have some negative camber which is out of spec. The current setup is as follows:

OME medium springs yielding a 2” lift give or take
Dobinsons remote reservoir shocks
Rebuilt front axle including all bearings
2deg caster plates installed
FJ80 steering box

Should I be concerned about the negative camber or am I obsessing? Also, would the 2 degree caster shims have an impact to the camber settings? The truck drives really well now, steering is neutral and no vagueness on or off road.

I wouldn't worry about it, just rotate your tires on a regular basis. It would be nice if they printed SAI readings for reference.
 
I don’t believe there is any adjustment for camber.

Adding caster shims would adjust the caster, but you are in the positive there so I wouldn’t mess with it.

I had -1 caster and used some shims to bring it positive. Huge improvement for my situation.

As long as it’s driving well leave it alone and just rotate your tires as needed. Your TRE will probably give you problems before anything else.

Those numbers are fine. That single degree of camber is just tolerance of their measuring tools since they are measuring off the tire and not the actual wheel hub/knuckle itself.
Additionally the axle housings are not all perfect. Nothing to worry about. If it was 5-degrees you’d have a issue

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation Matt.
