From Sungod..."A lifted truck doesn't necessarily require special knowledge when it comes to aligning it. The challenge with a lifted truck is getting it back into spec. The adjusters in many cases are not broad enough to accommodate the changes."

Truer words were never spoken. Thats why one should be careful when installing mismatched or partial lift components without knowledge of how this affects caster or toe in, or even rear tire scrub from a mis- centered front axle.

Assuming that the OP has the correct long arms with the Fabtech kit he says is installed, the caster should not be a problem to adjust to spec.

Thanks for the replies @ dodgeram07 Yes the tires are wearing even so far At least not wearing out the inside like before I've put about 1000 mi. On them. before the balljoints the insides where wearing out somewhat i'm still using the same tires by the way the only other thing I can think of is the tech left the camber like that so the tires can kinda even out as far as the wear goes. I'm at work so I haven't gotten a chance to get the other pics up.
