    ...too much shit to list.
    I personally max out the front eccentrics ("shorter" in my write up) and then start adjusting the rear until I get camber where I want it. This will normally result in max caster. Your passenger front ecentric is maxed out shorter, but so is the rear. If you back the rear out "longer" you will add positive caster (but also add negative camber). Your driver front has room to go shorter for sure and the rear can also be backed out longer to add more positive caster. Most techs just try to put it in the green and adjust for road crown. It's a bit of a balancing act between camber and caster and techs are primarily focused on camber as it affects tire wear more directly. I shoot for a tiny bit of negative camber and max caster (but I also live in the mountains and drive like an asshole).

    Hey guys
    So here is my numbers from my 1st alignment, I am sitting at about 2in lift in the front and 1.5 in the rear. Also have Dirt King UCA's and Fox 2.5 coil overs. I was 1st worried about the toe because I was having issues with taking turns at speed and having tire squeal. From what I can tell the tech did not even try to adjust the camber or caster. So what I want to know if anyone can tell me is there enough adjustment in the caster to bring me in the green?
