Question alignment troubles

went to have my truck aligned after a complete rebuild, upper and lower control arm shaft kits and ball joints,new drop spindels.but they said they could not get it to what they thought was specs,{their book only went back to 83} not enough bolt for shims to get proper caster and camber on the right side.does anybody have the factory specs for this and toe? if this is true then the right side must have been hit in an accident and tweaked somthing because there is plenty of room left for more shims on the left side,and this would piss me off because i just had the rattleing rebuilt motor out and i could have put another crossmember in at that time.

If it's bent...I doubt it's the crossmember.

it has a new upper control arm on it but reused the lower, thats the only thing i could come up with is the crossmember being tweaked.

I think I would go to another shop and see what they say. Perferably a shop known for doing lowered vehicles.
How did you go about the 4 inch drop in front?
