Left Right
-0.7 Camber -0.6
6.4° Caster 6.9°
.12° Toe .12°

Rear thrust angle was -0.12°

Not bad for a dually.
Pretty good results but can I ask... .75" from what? There seems to be some discussion about the stock indexing location. Mine was at 1 7/32" so I just did holes at 2" and 2.25". Then again mine is non-bushed 67-72. I get a feeling that as much trucks hit the alignment rack we'll see varying results as the original index holes are not in the same spot all the time.
